"I know some of the details of why that failed but I was an eBay empoyee at that time and I shouldn’t disclose". Why bother putting up a response like that? The only reason is to try to make you feel important.</p>KFri, 19 Jan 2007 13:25:41 -0000http://venturebeat.com/2007/01/18/roundup-genetics-semels-choke-wikiseek-myspace-story-and-more/#comment-14672069<p>Yahoo also failed to acquire eBay at a time they could have done it easily. I know some of the details of why that failed but I was an eBay empoyee at that time and I shouldn't disclose. I can tell however, the arguments were pretty ridiculous and in later acquisitions Yahoo has agreed to what it didn't agree when negotiating with eBay.</p>RBAThu, 18 Jan 2007 17:26:42 -0000
