Yahoo’s 1 Billion Dollar Investment in “Blood Diamonds”

Posted on July 24th, 2007 by vicezilla

That, according to Patric Douglas, CEO of Sharkdiver.com is the investment Yahoo made in online shark fin broker Alibaba.com, when it bought a 40% stake in Jack Ma’s company in 2005.

Watch the video in which Patric addresses the Yahoo and Alibaba.com relationship and how it’s decimating the world’s shark populations.

I couldn’t agree more with Patric’s assessment. Blood Diamonds indeed!

Maybe its time we remind Yahoo of it’s self proclaimed “value to community”:
“We share an infectious sense of mission to make an impact on society and empower consumers in ways never before possible. We are committed to serving both the Internet community and our own communities.

Feel free to contact them and let them know the impact they are making on society by their relationship with Alibaba.com of the marketing of shark fins over the borderless internet is a negative one.
