Can someone tell me where Yahoo gets all this money from? It's not like they have pockets as deep as Facebook or Microsoft! Although I believe I do understand part of their strategy (having a foot in every type of medium), I have concerns about how they will integrate all this content and users into the Yahoo ecosystem. It is certainly not going to be easy work and the acquisition is the most straightforward bit. I really don't know what to think about this move. It seems a bit premature though.



Back in the day, they bought 40% of Alibaba, which has done VERY well. Selling back this stake has raised a lot of money.
