  Broadcast.com http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcast.com http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcast.com Made Mark Cuban some money but it never turned a profit for Yahoo and they don't have anything in that space anymore. You can look at the entire list here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mergers_and_acquisitions_by_Yahoo http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mergers_and_acquisition...! A couple of others that stand out: GeoCities, Zimbra (Yahoo bought it for $350 Mil, sold it to VMware for less who sold it down the road as well), etc.
