“Microsoft had made a $45 billion offer for Yahoo in 2008, which Yahoo successfully fought off.”
Amazing, isn’t it?
So if you owned Yahoo stock in 2008, today you’re... beating your head against the desk.
What the Hell was Yahoo thinking? I would have took that offer and signed it in blood.
Sad. Yahoo is a surviver of the 1999 Dot Bomb along with Excite and Lycos. I used Yahoo until 2005 and switched to Gmail. Sure, Google has sketchy leadership. But Yahoo has twisted leadership that Myers could not control. Only the Lord can tell bad spirits to depart.
Myers gave an wonderful interview with her parents while working at Google. Too bad her parents were unable to help her turn the ship around at Yahoo. Yahoo is liberal, dark, anti-American, anti-Christian and just plain evil. If Drudge links to Yahoo, then I skip the story.
Even more amazing is that back in 1999, apparently Page and Brin of Google were offering their company to Excite for $1 million (cue Dr Evil meme). The current market cap of Google is in the neighborhood of $500 billion. What a crapshoot.
