We’re here in Sunnyvale at Yahoo’s headquarters for an event Yahoo is calling “Connecting You to What Matters Most”. They are using these event to go over several updates to the key products that Yahoo offers.
Below find my live notes (paraphrased)
Elisa Steele, Chief Marketing Officer of Yahoo is giving some opening remarks right now.
- New Yahoo Homepage brings the best of the web forward.
- You can choose Yahoo Sports or you can choose ESPN. You can choose Twitter, Facebook, whatever ways are relevant to you.
Bryan Lamkin, SVP of Applications
- Only been here about 4 months (Elisa has been here 5 months). He was at Adobe prior.
- What I learned at Adobe is now scaling to hundreds of million customers.
- Yahoo Mail is the #1 property people click on when they come to the homepage.
- I think it’s great that people can choose Gmail from our homepage, but my job is to make you want to choose Yahoo mail.
- We want to bring social to the front of the Yahoo Mail experience.
- What do people need on the web? They want an easy way to check in, simple tools to navigate to the sites they want to visit, and a timely view into what’s happening around the world. We are working to build the bridge between “My World and The World”
