> Yahoo has a ton of services, a ton of engineers and apps that could do better if they were made better.
Does buying Tumblr take away focus from their other services? I don't think Yahoo engineers working on those projects will be transfered to Tumblr.
> Yahoo still feels like it is 1999. Why not work on yahoo mail and make it relevant ?
Yahoo mail is plenty relevant. It's the 3rd largest email provider with 281 million users. And they updated it last December.
> what about their ugly homepage ?
They updated it. Also ugly != functional.
> I mean there is a ton of things to do, instead of buying things like Tumblr.
Once again, you are assuming the two are exclusive.
> Marissa is cute and intelligent , but what's her strategy for Yahoo?
What does her attractiveness have to do with anything?
