Ouch ... so painful and so embarrassing:

"The 1.1 Billion that Yahoo! paid just a few years ago"

Epic FAIL ... embarrassment ... 1.1 BILLION for an already marginal blogging platform ... corporate incompetency to the max.

And now Yahoo is history. This was during the reign of Melissa Mayer? Once a highly esteemed and respected businesswoman, she fell deep, very deep. Classic example of corporate hubris and being totally out of touch with reality.

In the big corporate world there's no penalty on incompetence, they're worse than government bureaucracy.
