Brilliant move. Paying 1 Billion USD for a site that generated 13 Million in revenue. I'm going to send her a list of my blog networks. Using this math, I should easily get $10,000,000 or so.

I hope not. The first thing Yahoo will do is get rid of adult or put it behind a wall where it can't be spidered.

And most likely put ads all over the place (if they do buy it, they have to monetized the fucker somehow) which will kill Tumblr.

Yahoo, which has more than $4 billion in cash to spend. Better to invest wisely

Isn't that how the internet works.. You buy sites for millions and now billions of dollars that can't make a profit. Then of course on the other side of the coin, you don't sell your site when offered billions and then ride it down til it's the next myspace.

Tumblr has already done that, by putting all blogs flagged "adult" behind a robots.txt that excludes all the spiders. http://www.erosblog.com/2013/05/15/n...tumblr-search/

Now, maybe we know why!

Thats how yahoo has always worked - they've ruined and shut down almost everything they've bought and its why they keep going through executives and their stock is in the toilet. Its a bit of a weird move for a new CEO who was going to shake up the place, streamline it, cut all the losing lines of business and follow her grand vision for the future.

Don't worry guys. They will buy it and shut it down within a year because it's not making money. That's their whole business model.
