雅虎11億美金收購Tumblr

雅虎在今年5月斥資11億美元收購了輕博客網站Tumblr，一時間成為媒體競相報道的大新聞，盡管它并不是科技界今年最大的一筆交易——微軟（Microsoft）今年拋出了72億美元的天價收購諾基亞（Nokia），但是它畢竟是瑪麗莎?梅耶爾就任雅虎CEO以來最大的一筆投資。它也是梅耶爾的一筆豪賭，雅虎的用戶群顯然已經整體偏老了，急需通過Tumblr補充年輕的血液。

It was a big bet she argued earlier this year helps shore up Yahoo's decidedly older demographic with Tumblr's younger set.
