Comment on Yahoo acquires GoPollGoparent

Comments

But what happens to these hackers when they arrive to a company that has Yahoo's culture? That's their problem. Their culture is the same one as any shitty American company.

She's trying to make a new culture by buying up A players as aqui-hires.

Question is, will it work long term or is it a shortsighted gimmicky strategy?

Assuming Yahoo should do the same. :)

Does Yahoo! have a track record of doing this?
