    Yahoo sold WP.com and BLO.GS to Wordpress

    http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2009/04/24/wpcom/

    Yes it’s true, Automattic is now the proud owner of WP.com, which we acquired from our buddies over at Yahoo!

    Yahoo! is transferring blo.gs to Automattic for safekeeping and further development. I’ve been a long-time fan of the service, and it even inspired the early WordPress feature which reordered your blogroll based on update times.

    Possibly yahoo might have sold it cheaply to help Wordpress producing more free blogging sites which in turn may use Yahoo ad network.

    Yahoo! won't announce the price, but I'm sure it will show up at the end of the quarter, buried in the financial report. Yahoo management doesn't want to admit they bungle just about everything.

    Could very well be a sign for the continued downward spiral of Yahoo.

    Just went through another round of layoffs.

    Was a good decision they were not making much off of WP.com or blo.gs so they get some extra cash which hopefully will be used to make some good purchases

    They can use it as a bonus for some executives.
