Very interesting to see this possible acquisition especially considering last year their CEO was quoted saying regarding a 2014 IPO.<p>"I consider an IPO an entrance," he tells us. "We don't have a choice, our volume is too high and our scale is too big for anyone to absorb us."<p>They've raised over $60M, so maybe they have cooled off quite a bit and seems they are about to get 'absorbed'<p>Source: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/flurry-ipo-and-ceo-simon-khalaf-2013-9" rel="nofollow">http://www.businessinsider.com/flurry-ipo-and-ceo-simon-khal...</a>
This is a genuine question: where is Yahoo getting all this money from?<p>I think the average internet-goer (myself included) would probably be surprised to hear they're profitable enough to have made so many large purchases recently...
It seems like they were bailing out. If estimates say the company was worth ~700M and they sold for 300M and they were "racing toward a sale", seems to me Yahoo will have to revive it somehow if they want to make their money count.
This is now on the Yahoo Tumbler:<p><a href="http://yahoo.tumblr.com/post/92461312524/yahoo-to-acquire-flurry-to-strengthen-mobile-products" rel="nofollow">http://yahoo.tumblr.com/post/92461312524/yahoo-to-acquire-fl...</a>
This may be a good place to ask this: Does anyone have experience using Flurry Analytics and Google Mobile App Analytics in production? We're comparing the two, and would love to get opinion from people, who have used them in production, about the not-so-obvious pros and cons.
A little over 2 years ago Yahoo discontinued[1] their Web Analytics Product. Nice to see them back to this space. I wonder for how long.<p>[1] <a href="http://marketingland.com/yahoo-web-analytics-to-be-discontinued-14223" rel="nofollow">http://marketingland.com/yahoo-web-analytics-to-be-discontin...</a>
From their site[0]: "Flurry sees 165B app sessions across 1.4B devices each month" so... even if Yahoo could turn each session into $0.05 of revenue, they could make it a $100b/yr business.<p>0: <a href="http://www.flurry.com/solutions/publishers" rel="nofollow">http://www.flurry.com/solutions/publishers</a><p>edited for order of magnitude error
