Earlier today All Things D reported Yahoo were to acquire San-Francisco based Xoopit for around the $20 million mark. Xoopit is interestingly, originally a GMail Firefox plugin that scours your email for all your media and organises it neatly for you to browse and share.

There have been a number of theories as to why Yahoo decided to acquire the startup over say, Google. What we do officially know is that Yahoo have now publicly confirmed the acquisition and welcomed the company into its belly family.
