Why Tumblr Was a Massive Steal for Yahoo
- sugerman 13y agoSeems like the article is making a case for Yahoo buying Pinterest, not Tumblr. Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't Tumblr posts generally without context?
- ScottWhigham 13y agoAs I skimmed the article, I naturally read the headlines: #2: Readers are far more valuable than writers. #3: Valuable content is king. Well which is it? You don't get content without writers, do you?
- cimorene12 13y agoCorrect. You want the right writers, though, and Tumblr has attracted an interesting set. You don't want too much garbage/noise on Tumblr, and so far (at least for me) this is the case. FB and Twitter have a lot of noise. I respect Adam Rifkin's opinions a lot, partially because he's a great person and partially because he's the best-networked person in the world. http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/tag/adam-rifkin/ http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/tag/adam-rifkin/ I may be wrong, but I feel like the second title qualifies him to maybe see things that others don't.
