Comment on Yahoo said to be mulling investment in, or acquisition of, Tumblrparent

Comments

Tumblr is getting old in Startup Years and they've started pushing more "Sign up now!" floaters in your face which means they're getting desperate for metrics to improve so they can look more attractive to investors and/or acquirers.

They can either fight to become a Grown Up Company or they can take the easy way out and liquidate their built up equity in Internet Zeitgeist Funbucks (which apparently is exchangeable into USD by Yahoo).

You reminded me of an old favorite. Thanks!
