Spending $1.1 billion just to post a single post, seems just like a huge waste of cash...




Facebook is free. Google is free. LinkedIn is free. In fact Yahoo is free. Why would the freeness of tumblr have any negative effect on your analysis of this deal?

User attention is not free. Its not money but its not free. Isn't that the story of the last 10 years?
