remember how people were actually like, woah, good decision on yahoo's part when the news went out of her hire? well, if you see what she's done since then, a lot of it seems kinda at least heading in a positive direction, and i think over time there's at least some sort of chance that at least something interesting will come of it, maybe, and if it doesn't oh well. but, really, i think what she's doing is worth devoting at least some attention to, if you care. and if you don't maybe go post about daft punk or something

Tumblr feels that Yahoo’s $1.1 billion offer as “too low” and view it as “only a first offer”, according to sources close to acquisition talks.

eh its all about the closing date, just think if facebook can leverage its monetization synergies its stock could jump to $100 and then instagram dudes would be worth a bajillion dollars
― 乒乓, Monday, 20 May 2013 12:42 (eleven years ago) link
anyway youre right in that this is a straight cash homie sale instead of cash + stock, instagram was cheaper

i feel like tubmlr is mostly successful because of its culture not necessarily its technology which is just mostly blogging, its culture is really not that respectable and is mostly hermetically sealed from the rest of the webb, liek you can drive madd clicks to yr web properties via facebook or twitter but tumblr just leads to more tumblr, facebook bought instagram as a defensive move which kinda makes sense, yahoo bought tumblr cause they think they can leverage the shit out of its synergies and i think they cannot
― lag∞n, Monday, 20 May 2013 13:08 (eleven years ago) link
i see a common refrain is that yahoo is buying it for its userbase - cue all those silicon valley VC ppl who are like "you can/should value a user at $X a head" - it can prob drive traffic to some websites and youtube, but youre right in that anigifs are self-contained
yahoo properties are not synergistic at all though, it's a bunch of cobbled together properties, probably yahoo is fine with that
