Bingo for Yahoo
August 27, 2010
Quote to note: Yahoo is now Bing. Sure, there is the logo, the cluttered interface, and the multiple clicks to get to email. The same old Yahoo. You can exercise the site, but it is clear that my use of Exalead’s search system will continue. In “Bing Officially Power Yahoo Search in U.S. and Canada,” I spotted a quote I want to tuck in my great moments in search file. Here’s the passage:
“Yahoo will continue to drive technology innovation in the search experience to bring more value to users and advertisers alike,” wrote Yahoo’s senior VP for search products Sashi Seth, in a blog post. “We are focused on creating rich, immersive experiences that foster serendipitous discovery for people across the Yahoo network.”
Experience is more important than relevance and recall? Yep. Precision. Long lost I fear. What does Yahoo’s time explorer service say? Test it yourself at http://fbmya01.barcelonamedia.org:8080/future/. I saw a downturn in September 2010 and another crater at the end of October 2015. Good news though. Around 2017, Yahoo sees its Microsoft Yahoo tie up improving. No surprise I suppose.
