David Karp, who
dropped from high school not too long ago, has sold his website, tumblr, to
Yahoo for 1.1 billion dollars. The micro blogging website, which contains
millions of blogs, was created by Karp in
2007. Yahoo plans to use the website
to enter into the ‘cool’ social media platform, which Facebook, Twitter and to
some extent Google have had a field day.
The 26 year old follows
in the footsteps of other famous drop outs like Bill Gates (Microsoft),
Steve Jobs (Apple), and Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook.). However, while the likes
of gates dropped out of college, David Karp is even more sensational for
dropping out of high school to pursue his ambitions. However, just in case you
think of dropping out like Karp, he is the exception, rather than the norm.
