Yahoo Pays Billions For Tumblr


Well it is so amazing how yahoo is increasing its web dominance. News currently indicate that a deal has been reached between Yahoo and Tumblr.

Tumblr is now taken over by Yahoo after the deal was confirmed by Yahoo’s board of directors. A whole 1.1 billion Dollars has been paid for the site. This price is approved by the AllThingsD which is a technology blog.  The deal was confirmed on Sunday.
Today Monday, a press conference is held in New York which is Tumblrs hometown to declare the takeover.
The purchase is no more a rumor since all sides have approved the deal. This deal is so far one of the great acquisitions by the Internet giants. This follows its 2012 struggles that almost had Yahoo taken over by Google. This advancement could be a surprise but it’s also a proof that Yahoo could be getting much better.
Yahoo’s interests in acquisition must be geared up as this is an addition to Summly, a news summarizing app they bought from a teenage for a hooping $30 million.
