The very focused audience is great for ad sales. They'll save some decent cash on the back-end tech costs since Yahoo should easily be able to incorporate that into their network.ButlerThu, 21 Jun 2007 11:46:10 -0000http://mathewingram.disqus.com/at_least_it_won8217t_be_called_club_mouse/#comment-1315437Looks like holding out a few months got the guys twice as much plus some jobs at Disney. Maybe thats what they wanted all along? I really doubt it was the charity aspect. I think it was the valuation.ButlerThu, 02 Aug 2007 08:37:26 -0000http://venturebeat.disqus.com/yahoo_buys_sports_network_rivalscom/#comment-14676109This is a great buy by Yahoo. They actually bought something that is making money and it will continue to deliver revenue. The big bonus will be the content and the very focused audience which is great for ad sales. The price is not even that crazy when you consider all the factors.ButlerThu, 21 Jun 2007 11:01:07 -0000http://venturebeat.disqus.com/disney_buys_club_penguin_in_700_million_deal_8212_virtual_worlds_have_arrived/#comment-14677194Congrads to my fellow Canucks. Looks like they got double the initial rumored amount plus jobs at Disney.ButlerThu, 02 Aug 2007 08:12:29 -0000http://mashable.disqus.com/thread_1629/#comment-5951835I think Jerry might not have been liking this move which might have forced his move back into the picture at Yahoo last week.ButlerWed, 20 Jun 2007 09:23:23 -0000http://mashable.disqus.com/thread_0309/#comment-5951983This is great buy by Yahoo. Not only is the price not crazy (bonus actuall revenue) but the audience is already being delivered. The content is great and very focused for ad sales. Smart move by Yahoo hopefully they don't mess it up in the longterm.ButlerThu, 21 Jun 2007 10:48:02 -0000http://mashable.disqus.com/thread_9588/#comment-5953374But Pete, did you line up all day just to hand someone $500?ButlerFri, 29 Jun 2007 22:19:05 -0000http://mashable.disqus.com/thread_5764/#comment-5970777If they can figure out how to cut out all the crap search results they'll win the search race when they get bought out by Yahoo (likely buyer if their software actually works).ButlerMon, 06 Aug 2007 22:49:13 -0000http://mashable.disqus.com/thread_6236/#comment-5978911If you already didn't think those types of tricks would void your warranty you were living in some customer service dream world.ButlerMon, 24 Sep 2007 21:19:45 -0000http://mashable.disqus.com/thread_96418/#comment-5981042The times has figured out that people are going to other sites to connect and comment on stories.

Its not some vapour revenue site. Rivals makes cash, delivers viewers and adds plenty of online cred to Yahoo's sports efforts. Very focused audience which is great for ad sales. Great move by Yahoo.ButlerThu, 21 Jun 2007 14:53:52 -0000http://paidcontent.disqus.com/forbes_in_process_of_buying_social_bookmarking_service_clipmarks/#comment-18829650Someone was mumbling about the web 2.0 bubble bursting?
