Jaiku was a very popular Micro blogging website just like Twitter. It was faster than Twitter and Google bought it to compete with Twitter. Suddenly, Google shut down the site. That’s $2 billion washed down the drain!

10. Google buying dodgeball. Cost: 1 billion dollars.

It’s okay to say that apart from yahoo, Google has also made its own fair share of mistakes. I don’t know what pushed Google to make this move but they actually did. The splashed a whopping $1 billion on this App then they shut it down. I guess it’s because they have so much money and can do whatever they like with it!

Moral lessons.
The Success and Success story of yesterday is not enough to sustain for today, each day is a new day...
If you're winning yesterday does not mean you'll win today, so revive and strengthen yourself.
Also because you lost yesterday doesn't mean you'll lose today.
Every day is new people!
You can break that habit today!
You can start that difficult task today!
You can be better today!

That's why the Sun rises daily in the east..
It's never too late.
Have a great day!

I understand ur point, but the image of celebrities being sold is not new. images of celebrities have been sold for millions of dollars. If that image wasn't of value it wouldn't be put up there to be sold.

Remember "Value has value, only if it's value is valued".
