Today on a conference call, while waiting for everybody to join:
(1) Did you hear, Verizon is buying Yahoo?
(2) [Pause] Why!?
(1) Who knows. Maybe they wanted a portal?
(3) You can build a portal from scratch for cheaper.
(1) True. But there are dedicated Yahoo users, maybe Verizon wanted something with built-in community?
(3) I don't think those three people are worth 4.8 billion dollars.
