Dec. 21st, 2013 01:51 amI was just thinking about this the other day and while it's taken me a while to think of it now it's come to me I'm rather amushed by the fact that Yahoo brought Tumblr.
Mainly for the fact that Tumblr is now the place most of fandom seems to be hanging out and with Yahoo now owning it,it seems that fandom has coe full circle.
I explain back when I first started using the net the only place fandom seemed to hang out was Yahoo groups. These were email mailing list that people could join and everyone on the list would recive emails sent to the group. It was one of the few ways to find fanart and fic back then as it seemed so much more underground then it is today, back when it was a cardinal sin to even mention fanwork to the creators/stars of shows.
Of course as time went by the mailing lists dies down and Livejournal took over and as time and bad mangement happened Livejournal has died and tumblr seems to have taken over for the most part and now Yahoo owns it just like those mailing lists back in days gone.
