Startup Jakarta Ini Dibeli Yahoo, Lalu Ditutup. Kenapa?

Mei 2010, Yahoo membeli Koprol, media sosial berbasis lokasi buatan Jakarta. Setahun kemudian penggunanya naik 20 kali lipat menjadi 1,5 juta. Tapi pada 2012 Koprol ditutup, dan namanya dikembalikan ke pendirinya tanpa penggunanya. Ini kisahnya.
