Is Yahoo about to buy Tumblr?

On Thursday May 16th talks were held between Tumblr's owner David Karp and the CEO of Yahoo Marissa Mayer. Now that Tumblr is becoming more popular Mayer has become more interested in it than in past years. She has offered Karp 1 billion dollars for the creation on his site. People believe that if Yahoo bought Tumblr Yahoo would become popular again but many Tumblr users disagree.If Karp did sell Tumblr to Yahoo at 1 billion dollars then it would be the biggest purchase since Facebook bought Instagram last year.
