Yahoo tells Microsoft: 'Buy us'

I'm sure Zuckerberg is a hard working and smart guy. But if Yahoo didn't know when to sell, I seriously doubt someone with Zuckerberg's limited experience does.

Yeah, I wouldn't argue with the hard working and smart part. And also, I'm sure if you let anything go to your head, you'll end up missing the best deal. I suppose you could argue that nothing went to his head and he just had a great rational argument for why Facebook is worth so much.

Makes me wonder what his advisers were telling him when he was offered the Y! deal.

If MS ends up buying Yahoo, what will happen to Zimbra?

he is offering to sell because Yang knows it is only going to get worse and lower. and he is still making more to sell now then later.

Does anyone else think he sounds like a tool? Maybe the article quoted him out of context, but... "They walked away from a public offering and we were ready to negotiate. We wanted to negotiate a deal. We felt we weren't that far apart. At the end of the day, they withdrew and they have since been clear about not wanting to buy the company," "Buying AOL? I can't talk about that, John. If I told you I would have to kill you." Mr Yang said he was "disappointed that they [Google] didn't want to defend this deal." "So I clearly don't agree with what the viewpoint is, but they are the government and they can decide on these things." You know what quote I didn't see? "WE MASSIVELY SCREWED UP AND ARE WORKING ON IT" ---> Which is what everyone thinks... if they came out and said it, then put out a cohesive-seeming turnaround plan I reckon much good would come of it. Criticizing other company for not buying your company that lost half its market value, criticizing the larger profitable player who almost wrote you a billion dollar check for not fighting hard enough for it, criticizing the government... not so much good there.
