After negotiations, the search cooperation between Yahoo and Microsoft will end by the end of 2012, at which time it will adopt its own search engine technology. It is said that it is independently developed, but in fact, it mainly comes from a series of companies that Yahoo bought earlier, including Inktomi, Overture, AltaVista and Fast Search and Transfer, among others.

After a year of research on artificial intelligence, there are still some results, and these technologies will also be introduced into Yahoo's search engine, that is, next year Yahoo will open the road to intelligent search. At this time, it was actually already tried in China, Yahoo's cloud computing center and the new version of Yahoo were built together, and at the same time, the portal was greatly revised, and the original portal was replaced by the new Yahoo news column. Learning the layout of Bing in the later stage, combining search and Flickr image social, Flickr pictures appeared at the bottom of the web page, and Microsoft's beautiful pictures made him really impressed. Of course, the famous search button will certainly not be placed on the left. Moreover, it has acquired multiple domain names such as yahu, yaho, yahooo, yah, etc., simplifying the cost of users' memory, and there is also a plan to resurrect 3721 and use it as a search sub-brand of Yahoo to retain Yahoo's portal status.

Bing is a pity, a rich big guy, has not been walled, but Chinese natural language processing technology, compared to 360 and Sogou are much worse, not to mention compared with Baidu, but also for the outside world, occasionally used a use, of course, regret is still a lot, the reason you know! 360 technology has just started, many are tampering with Baidu's search results, Sogou, oh, forgot, this time there is no Sogou, there is a way, but NetEase's Ding is a typical businessman thinking, not an entrepreneur. Well, it doesn't seem to be able to say the same, NetEase open classes, Chinese MOOCs are good. But there is no lower limit for Ding to make money, what is such an obvious scam activity as a one-yuan purchase, only they can put down the bottom of several major Internet companies, and the relationship with the departing employees seems to be the worst NetEase, and there are often conflicts (ignoring Youku employees, their equity incentive plan is said to be very pitted, which can only be blamed on themselves, who makes them not know the boss is called Gu Yongkeng, Qiang!). Ding also has a problem with someone's character, Ding someone went out without money, so he asked a NetEase employee if he knew him, but he didn't say if he knew this employee, and then borrowed a hundred, and never paid it back. I don't know if it's a joke, and it doesn't make much sense to make up such a joke. Originally, Ding someone shouldn't have opened this mouth, or borrowed money should take the initiative to pay it back, not a question of more money and less money, let alone wait for others to bring it up, he is a rich man who does this is to repay the debt, whether he forgets or is secretly happy, it is strange that there is no problem with his character.

Yahoo's search is not the most important at the moment, after all, this requires technical accumulation, and Yahoo has begun to launch some gadgets, such as Yahoo everything, which is a very low system resource occupation, search extremely fast computer gadgets, can very quickly find those files that do not know where in the computer. There will also be input methods and Chromium-based Yahoo browsers in China, which is better than nothing, without advertising promotion and bundling, at least to give users a good impression.

After Zhou Shi moved into Yahoo, he has been improving some invisible things, such as Yahoo's security defense system, such as the loading speed and stability compatibility of web pages, such as Yahoo Mail's anti-spam technology, and so on. This is also one of the reasons why Yahoo's stock price has not been hot this year. Of course, by this time, his various initiatives had become his vision. In the end, success or failure largely determines the evaluation of a person. Although Zhou Shi is not yet successful, at least it gives people hope. Yahoo has a good entry point in the mobile Internet era, and there is more than one. Yahoo Messenger, Yahoo News, Flickr Photo Social and Toutiao. Mailboxes and maps aren't great, but they also provide consumers with an option, and Yahoo Maps, integrated with Yelp, may become a food and lifestyle service map, rather than a traffic navigation map. Yahoo Mail may cooperate with Time Android in the future, or cooperate with nuts and Samsung mobile phones to bundle the Yahoo Mail APP client.

"Our email app has been compatible with mainstream mailboxes, including Google, Microsoft, AOL and other companies, as well as enterprise and education mailboxes. "Brett Taylor

Zhou Shi picked up the mobile phone, he felt good, but the layout and interface were not good-looking, and he said a few words to him at random, this thing is not very difficult, it is not very useful, he is not very attentive.

"How is the competition between Flickr and Instagram?" Zhou asked, as he revamped Flickr to a certain extent, turning it into a social app that can take photos like Instagram, and he and his audience can comment on the pictures posted.

"Instagram is growing faster than we are, and the differences between the two sides are starting to emerge, with more people on our Flickr using private mode......" Mayer replied on the side.

"What's the difference between the two sides in terms of user experience?" said Zhou Shi

"Our app is more professional and users have more autonomy. "Taylor

"Oh!" Zhou Shi tried to use Flickr, and sure enough, after a few simple filters, all of them were so professional that Zhou Shi didn't know how to use these features to look better.

"Am I stupid? I can't even use this!" Zhou Shi asked Mayer

"How could it be, this is our design is too complicated!" Mayer is not stupid

"You can launch a professional version of the app, and then the main app should be close to Instagram, and at the same time learn some of the advantages of Pinterest. Zhou Shi, he said that pinterest is a very popular website in Silicon Valley, and last year it was listed by Hitwise as one of the 10 largest social networking sites in the world. In March of this year, it has become one of the third largest social networking sites in the United States, and its traffic has even surpassed that of Linkedin, Youtube and Google+. In May, Pinterest closed a $120 million Series C funding round at a valuation of $1.5 billion, surpassing Instagram's position in the same period.

Unlike Instagram and Flickr, which focus on people, pinterest is a social media that is categorized by images, showcasing images in a waterfall way. Some say it is a paradise for housewives and European and American housewives.

It's also one of the three businesses that Wall Street suggested Yahoo buy, the other two being the light blog Tumblr and the genuine video site hulu, well, as you can see from here, Wall Street and Yahoo have a feud. None of these three companies have great potential, and Tumblr relies on royal content to attract users until one day......

"Is Flickr a waterfall to learn Pinterest?"

"It should be information flow, our APP is information based on pictures, and in the future, as the network conditions get better and the price drops, we can also use short videos as the carrier of information. Of course, Zhou Shi doesn't say it's a waterfall, and they originally shared the information rather than the image itself, and the textual annotation of the picture was emotional, which is why Pinterest later lagged behind Instagram. It's just that how to distinguish between Instagram and Flickr is a very serious problem.

Several people looked at each other, and it seems that Yahoo's admiration for information flow cannot be changed, whether it is Yahoo News or Toutiao, it is information flow, which makes the number of active users of the Yahoo News client increase significantly, and at the same time, it also increases the demand for news information. Fortunately, the comprehensive application of comments, favorites, retweets and likes has alleviated a certain demand. But the flow of information is the flow of information, who made Zhou Shi the boss?
