How did Yahoo go from being worth $125 billion to being sold for "junk"? In this video, we analyze the story of how the king of the internet committed slow-motion suicide, handing the throne to Google in the process.
Discover Silicon Valley's most humiliating decisions: from rejecting Google's offer of just $1 million to paying Larry Page and Sergey Brin to build the search engine that would ultimately devour them. We explore the rise of Jerry Yang and David Filo, the dot-com bubble, and the strategic errors that turned a giant into a historical cautionary tale.
📌 What you'll learn in this video:
• The real reason why Google wasn't "buried" by Yahoo, but rather built by them.
• Why Yahoo believed a good search engine was "bad for business."
• The failed bargaining with Mark Zuckerberg and Microsoft's $44 billion offer.
Alibaba's role in Yahoo's financial survival.

Me animaste la Tarde Broo
Sabias que Google comenzo en un Garaje como Apple 💻🎥💾💿

Te paso una idea de tema para el futuro: la conexión de las empresas de tecnología con los deportes.
Se me ocurrió porque yo conocía a Steve Ballmer y a Mark Cuban por la NBA, no tenía ni idea que estaban relacionados con Microsoft y Yahoo (me dejó loca que esa compra fue lo que hizo millonario a Mark y por lo que pudo después comprar a los Mavs). Y seguro hay mas historias como esa!
Un saludo desde Silicon Valley!!
