Yahoo and Tumblr?

Looks like Yahoo wants to buy Tumblr for $1.1 billion (see here for rationale: http://www.businessinsider.com/why-yahoo-might-pay-1-billion-for-tumblr-2013-5 ) Good or bad idea considering Tumblr makes an estimated $13 million in revenue. Frankly, I'm trying to figure out what Yahoo is getting out of this considering the company only has a few months left of cash. I don't know how I feel about this because I really love Tumblr and don't know how the experience would be affected by a Yahoo acquisition. While I don't want to see it go away and want Tumblr to survive, I'm not sure if Yahoo in its current situation is the right partner...then again, it could be an incredibly awesome partner if they are willing to invest the time and resources into the company. What do you think? Good or bad idea?
