Saw this just a second ago. Was about to post a screen-grab as well.

So this is why people don’t sell to Yahoo!

MyBlogLog would have been Facebook Connect.

Delicious would have up-ended Google.

Flickr could have given us Instagram, Path, and PicPlz years earlier.

Given their track-record, which extends to dozens of companies and project beyond these, why would anyone who still believed in their company’s ability to change the world sell to Yahoo!?

Just the money.

Now don’t get me wrong… Money is good. But when all you can offer an acquisition target is money, amazing product, teams, and technology will go elsewhere, and you will eventually die.
