Yahoo confirms $1.1B Tumblr acquisition

Since Marissa joined, Yahoo has acquired more than 10 start ups.

Another evidence women love shopping :slight_smile:

itā€™s the hallmark of new mgmt. Either layoff a lot or buy up a lot.

How many startups does Yahoo otherwise acquire during any 1 year period?

The only time I ever visit the site is for fantasy sports. They do that right. As for the restā€¦

So I always thought ā€˜Foursquareā€™ was a new franchise restaurant like Chipotle that got popular. Then I realized it was an app. Then a friend of mine told me about how he likes to look at wanna be models post their pics on Tumblr. I really didnā€™t get the appeal.

As far as I know, Porn is free. Why would you pay 1B+ in ā€˜Cashā€™ for this thing? Instant growth? You kidding?

Marissa Meyer could have easily just had a pay per view Yahoo StripTease, for like, $3.00 per view, and she couldā€™ve generated much net present value in a day. (not saying sheā€™s hot, but Iā€™d pay $3.00 for that).

Watch her strip to ā€˜Tone Locā€™sā€™ 'ā€œWild Thingā€ā€¦

she like to do theā€¦ wild thannnnngā€¦

Soā€¦what happens to all the, uh, adult content on tumblr?

I wonder if that was what Marissa meant by ā€œappealing to a younger demographicā€.

My opinion, sheā€™s gonna be the next meg whitman. WHich means sheā€™ll drive Yahoo into the ground only to somehow to get a better job.

Except Meg Whitman canā€™t do this:

Fo sho.
