- joaob, on 02/10/2009, -2/+13buy up another company with absolutely no business plan or solid form of revenue? i thought yahoo was under new management?
- Thater, on 02/10/2009, -0/+8I disagree, he should pawn it off on those suckers. Everyone knows the only way to make money with a website is to sell it before anyone realizes it's impossible to monetize.
- vtbarrera, on 02/10/2009, -2/+8Tumblr's growth and development has been pretty steady; I think he should hold out a little bit and expand the newish blogging platform before entering in any talks to sell.
- ARTLUKM, on 02/10/2009, -2/+8'We called David and he said the rumor is categorically false. "We're just hearing about this now," he said.'

Buried this story. - Kerrigore, on 02/10/2009, -0/+4It's a wonder "Twitter" isn't "Twittr"

http://www.davidslog.com/77003902/what-the-*****-is ... - inactive, on 02/10/2009, -1/+5If Yahoo buys Tumblr, I bet you that in the late future, the founder of Tumblr is going to leave the company just like how the founders of Delicious and Flickr left.
- FearisFailure, on 02/10/2009, -1/+4Can they afford it?
- 4NDr01D, on 02/10/2009, -1/+3Tumblers better than Pumpers!!!
- FXNGLAS, on 02/10/2009, -0/+2Are you guys kidding me? Yeah, I can understand you want to excel in your business to make more money, but if someone would throw $50 million on the table, you would be a complete fool not take it in these times.
Yahoo and MS is a perfect example of what happens when you think you're worth more than you are. - drlha, on 02/10/2009, -1/+2Yahoo needs to drop the ***** smilies, that every time I see them make me want to claw my eyes out.
- redandwhite90, on 02/12/2009, -0/+1Yeah... just like with what happened to Flickr right?
- xedd, on 02/10/2009, -1/+2Yahoo should be doing something else besides buying up small start-ups. Jesus, it makes me sick to think of what they've become. They're like a staggering beat-up blind drunk punching away at the empty air with their fist.
Dude. It ain't workin. Try something different. - jhall49, on 02/11/2009, -0/+1I love that "low-to-mid eight figures" translates to a SMALL fortune. I don't know about anyone else, but I'd be pretty set with $10,000,000.
- CloudThrasher, on 02/12/2009, -0/+1Wonderful! Take a good idea, let Google, Microsoft, or Yahoo get their grubby hands on it and what happens? It turns to absolute rubbish.
- nkassi, on 02/10/2009, -1/+2still making money. Not like sun which is making negative money.
- jpop, on 02/10/2009, -0/+1If he's in NY, "small" fortune is correct. How much of that would be taken away in taxes? 50%?
- Gooooogler, on 11/02/2009, -0/+1I agree to many smilies. Any thoughts on this? http://www.ghacks.net/2009/10/11/yahoo-mail-login/
- Icetype, on 02/10/2009, -0/+1Never heard of it.
- alberonn, on 02/10/2009, -0/+1No! No! No! A hundred times no!
Tumblr is awesome and Yahoo would just put the stink of death on it. - DanBox360, on 02/10/2009, -1/+1It'll be down about a week after they buy it
- pootpoot, on 02/10/2009, -2/+2But does it come in black?
- NuclearBlast, on 02/10/2009, -3/+3If I want to start a successful company, I know what I need to do: drop the letter "e" from my website name.
Flickr, Tumblr, bubbl.us... - 5urr3al5am, on 02/10/2009, -1/+1seriously? isn't 'blogging' software a dime-a dozen?
- MilesWolfe, on 02/10/2009, -1/+1Run. If you use Tumblr and Yahoo buys it. RUN.
- funnygreen, on 02/10/2009, -1/+1tumblr is awesome and the collegehumor hommies all reside on there. tumblr FTW.
- jakatak, on 02/10/2009, -2/+2this is like Kmart buying Sears.
- MopTop650, on 02/10/2009, -1/+1...And knowing Yahoo, it will go from Tumblr to Tumbler.
- toyama, on 02/12/2009, -0/+0What's with the http://emoticonfun.com picture?
- lovemorgul, on 02/10/2009, -1/+1Guys might want to demand this of people before publishing their rants.
- inactive, on 02/10/2009, -2/+1Yahoo! might buy Tumblr, New York's cutest startup, just so they don't do nothing with it and let it die.
- adikt, on 02/10/2009, -3/+1Wht is wth thse dot coms tht lke to drop vowls?
- dizmoz, on 02/10/2009, -5/+2If you were the founder of Tumblr, would you be posting on digg?
- awesometastic1, on 02/10/2009, -8/+1Yet another top end organization in the U.S. that thinks it can spend it's way out of debt. America *****... ya???? *face palm* At this point it's just America, *****!
