Do you really think Zuckerberg would have agreed to that? I doubt it. Facebook was still relatively small when Yahoo offered to buy them for $1 billion but Zuckerberg didn't give it much thought at all.

But, honestly, in the mid-2000's, would you have wanted to be bought by Yahoo?

Honestly, 1 billion $ for a 2 year old startup, i wouldnt have thought twice.

Its easy to say Zuckerberg did the right thing in hindsight of course.
