“Stamped, On The Air, SnipIt, Jybe, Alike and Summly: Yahoo’s six acquisitions in recent months under Marissa Mayer’s new leadership. The French video-sharing platform Dailymotion was to have been the seventh. Over 20 million videos, 112 million monthly unique visitors, a valuation around $300 million: a crown jewel for Mayer’s content strategy and an inspiring success story for French tech entrepreneurs. But it won’t be. Yahoo backed out of its deal to buy 75% of the company from main owner Orange/France Telecom after French Industry Minister Arnaud Montebourg intervened to stop the sale.”
