Yahoo was idiotic and passed on buying both Google and Facebook also. Zero business sense.
Great internal infrastructure however. Didn't realize how great it was until I went elsewhere.
Meanwhile, they also got ripped off on dumb shit like broadcast.com.
One billion dollars for what exactly? So dumb.
You tell me. I have never understood that transaction. The tech was mostly vapor, and IIRC there weren’t really any paying customers.
