Will be really great if they returned Flickr too. And come back to the acquisitions table once they've figured out their purpose! [Edited for my stale information on what they did with Delicious, last summer. Phew!]
delicious was sold over a year ago to youtube founders

This was already in the works pre-Mayer...
I just hope that MM values inside talent and does not go on a startup shopping spree. Yahoo has great undervalued, underutilized assets, and with Yahoo's distribution and reach it can do great things without overpaying for "frothy" startups with dubious value/products.
Such as? I'm not doubting you, I'm just curious to know.

If Amazon had developed it they'd have called it 'Data Processing Services' and charged for how many cycles it took up.
Odd sentence construction: a rockstar team ... successfully exited the company to Yahoo I assume this is trying to invoke the jargon use of "an exit", but in this context it has a garden-path reading implying that the team succeeded in quitting the company. I probably would've just said "successfully sold the company".
A somewhat more subtle example of what my friend refers to as "vouns" (ie. nouns used as verbs) - regularly "gifted" to the English speaking peoples of the world by the Americans. Although exit is of course a verb, it's use in this sentence is pretty confusing given the fact that they're undoubtedly referering to "an exit".
I agree that the sentence being referred to is abhorrent, but to sneer at the possibility of nouns being used as verbs service merely to display a lack of understanding about the English language.

On top of that, Yahoo ain't financially dead a la Nokia and RIM. Yahoo is very profitable, with billions of revenues and net income. I wouldn't write off Yahoo just yet.
First I've even heard of this thing

What good is the domain without the code? They could rewrite the code from scratch. Though, that maks me wonder... If I single handedly write a piece of SW that does "X" and sell it to Yahoo. Can I then make a new site / app that dose "X"? Is it copyright infringement (a la the android / oracle Tim Sort) since anything I write that is an identical app is likely to have very similar, if not identical, code?
How much of what is in my head is mine and how much is covered by copyright if I've written it before?
