First Flickr, then Summly, now Tumblr.

Yahoo! is taking the Apple approach. If you can't create innovation, throw a shitload of cash at people who did.

Would Yahoo! acquiring Tumblr lead to any major changes to the site?

I hope tumblr doesn't accept it.

Obviously. They'll make sure everything people can do on tumblr is powered by Yahoo.
yahoo mail, yahoo search, yahoo music and so on

Ugh the owner better not accept.

What are you talking about? Apple have innovated more than any other company in the entire world

Let's not make a thread about Yahoo and Tumblr about Apple.

Please don't accept.

As long as a thread is about any type of tech, people will bring up apple in it.
Btw, that's Google* that does the shitload of acquisitions.

Oh lord have mercy. Don't let this happen. They would without a doubt ruin that flawless site.

Apparently, Tumblr only has a little "cash runway" left so they are going to accept some type of offer in the near future. I read that in another article. So I don't think it's a question of whether or not it will be bought out, just for how much.

I'm pretty pissed. I use Tumblr all the time and if it changes completely, I'm not going to be too happy.

As long I can still post half naked males I'm good.

Thats for another thread.

But you brought up Apple... and it seemed like you were trying to shade them in some way. If that wasn't your objective then forget it

Ontopic: I really hope this doesn't go through. I'm not here for Yahoo integration on my dashboard

Eww. Hopefully this isn't similar to when Google ruined YouTube.
