Yahoo poised to buy Tumblr for rumoured $1.1bn
Marissa Mayer, the former Googler who is now chief executive of Yahoo, is poised to create yet another nothing-to-riches tale in the web industry with a rumoured $1.1bn (£720m) acquisition of the blogging site TumbIr.
Tumblr's attraction is how easily people can create their own web presence; they can go from zero to blogging in less than a minute, collecting pictures, and posting stuff effortlessly. Unlike Facebook, it's anonymous; yet it has powerful search for finding "similar" content, which is often reshared. As the network grows, that internal sharing grows and grows.
