Chapter 837: Yahoo's Search
With the acquisition of Quora, Yahoo Answer is also recovering, donating some money to Wikipedia, and the Yahoo Mail revamp has added stability and security. Yahoo Messenger has been revitalized, and the improvement of the basic functions of the Internet has led to an increase in the use of Yahoo search. With the continuous improvement of AI technology, Yahoo Search is not obsessed with improving search speed, but has worked accuracy and achieved continuous improvement.
In the U.S. search market, Google maintains a market share of about 63 percent, Yahoo Search has increased to about 20 percent, and Bing has about 15 percent. The rest are companies like Ask Network and AOL. However, although Yahoo is still the second largest search market share in the world, its market share is much lower. The only good thing is that in the mobile search market, Yahoo is growing much faster than Bing, and not much less than Google. Although Google has Android, Yahoo has Toutiao, Yahoo, Yahoo News, Email, Flickr, LinkedIn and other applications. Even on the PC side, there are YouTube, F&F diversions. Thinking about Bing's 33% market share in the U.S. market in the future, Yahoo Search still has a lot of potential.
"Simon, we've basically agreed on a partnership plan for Chrome, and Yahoo Search will become Chrome's default search engine starting next year. "Mayer
"What about Google?" Zhou Shi smiled slightly, this is a normal thing, okay.
The partnership between Google and Firefox continues, although Google is rumored to be interested in acquiring the Firefox browser. "Mayer
"What about Google's own browser, what's the name?" Zhou Shi
"I forgot about it, and it seems that it disappeared without any influence. "Mayer
"Oh, Google didn't use the homepage to force promotion?" Zhou Shi, in the previous life, Baidu used the homepage and bundled to promote the browser, but it didn't work at all.
"No, Chrome is good, Yahoo Search is good, and Google is ...... if it dares to risk losing the trust of its users," Mayer
"Looks like they're pretty smart!" Zhou Shi
"Well, IE is still the absolute leader in the browser market now, with about 55 percent, and Chrome and Firefox are basically the same, both at 18 percent. However, another report shows that Chrome accounts for 40% of the market share, making it the ...... the leader in the browser market
"Do you think Firefox can surpass Chrome?"
"I don't know, Chrome uses its own Blink rendering engine, and the final development depends on their R&D capabilities...... "Mayer
If Google does acquire Firefox, with its strong promotion capabilities, it is really possible to have a big impact on Chrome. As for IE browser, forget it, that thing is also worthy of being called a browser? Even if it has the addition of an operating system, it is gradually eliminated by the public because of performance problems. Chrome, which has always been very good at the latest technical support, is even more popular, and there are many touted advertorials on major social networks, Zhihu and Yahoo Answer. So Chrome has become the most popular browser, and YouTube, F&F, Twitter, Yahoo, Yelp and other websites adapt to the order of Chrome first, IE second, Firefox third, Google's browser is not ranked in it at all. Assuming you have a little work experience, you should be able to understand that no one arranges it, who cares about work outside of the work plan?
"Pichai did a great job in time!" Zhou Shi
"Chrome's growth strategy, in particular, is fantastic!" said Mayer
The development of Time Chrome is basically hosted by Pichai, and it is likely to become the first billion-level user scale product of Time, Time Android may be the second, and Time Cloud Storage may be the third. Well, it doesn't seem right, but they all have the potential to be billion-level users......
"By the way, what products do we have the potential to reach one billion users?"
"Yahoo Mail, although there are fewer users using email now, and the monthly active data is declining, most people have an email account...... "Mayer
"Yahoo Chase also has this possibility, and other products don't seem to have much potential!" Mayer
Hey, Zhou Shi sighed a little, no matter how many users Yahoo Mail has, the monetization ability is very poor, and it is basically a waste. Yahoo Messenger has a lot of potential, but it's a pity that products such as Toutiao, Yahoo News and Yahoo Search are ......
"What about Yahoo Search and Yahoo Netdisk?" Zhou Shi, Yahoo Search focuses on the English-speaking and Chinese-speaking regions, and the scale of these markets also has 3 billion users. Yahoo Netdisk, like Tencent Weiyun, mainly relies on Yahoo Pass and DingTalk to provide cloud storage functions for enterprises and individuals.
"This ......" Mayer
Google's accumulated technological superiority in the search field is so great that Yahoo Search has developed on the basis of technologies such as databases published by Google. Yahoo Brain does not have a crushing advantage over Google Brain. In other words, Yahoo's AI technology is not necessarily better than Google's. AI plus search is a good direction, but there is nothing particularly eye-catching for Google. You know, even the Chrome browser is unique in its sync feature and embedded web translation function.
What should be done and what should not be done, Zhou Shi has done it, and the development of Yahoo Search has to grow through micro-innovation again and again.
"Simon, why haven't you been to Yahoo Finance in this time?" Morse arrived
"It will take time for the development over there, and I can only add to the chaos if I go. "Zhou Shi, Yahoo Finance is the core of Zhou Shi's investment in the field of Internet finance.
Among them, Yahoo Pay and Stripe Pay have been linked to Yelp. The difference between these two products, Yahoo Pay is a third-party payment, Stripe Pay is a fourth-party payment, even PayPal can be paid in yelp through Stripe.
"Our robo-advisory services, as well as online lending, have made great progress, and many people in Silicon Valley have tried it, including within the company. "Morse
"That's good, now that the stock market is getting better, you can make money on everything. Zhou Shi, the three major U.S. stock indexes have continued to rise this year, exceeding the prices before the subprime mortgage crisis, and the stock fund under Galaxy Capital has ushered in a bumper harvest. Even if the sales pitch of the robo-advisory industry encounters a hard bone, then speak with facts.
"It's not that easy, Yahoo's stock price probably can't rise as much as most high-tech Internet companies. "Morse
"Proportionally, we should be selected as the fastest-growing Internet company, right? It's almost doubled, and the stock price has only risen so little?" Zhou Shi
"Hehe, don't talk about this, our credit card business with East West Bank has been launched, and the online credit card business is being discussed, which is said to be very promising, but how to evaluate the user's credit needs more consideration. "Morse
"Take your time, fintech has evolved to the point where it needs drastic change. I hope Yahoo can bring freshness to the entire market......" Zhou Shi
