For the history books, Yahoo's M&A has been more trend-defining than anybody else.

Geocities in 1999 -- spawned the dot com rush

Flickr (2005) -- the official web 2.0 start date!

Tumblr (2013) -- ???



I'm not sure what you mean by the "dot com rush" but if there was a singular "dot com" starting-gun, it was the Netscape IPO a few years earlier.


And "web 2.0" was mostly "started" with gmail in 2004
