During an appearance at the Citi Global Technology Conference on September 4, Microsoft Chief Financial Officer Chris Liddell faced the same question that he’s been answering for months: What is Microsoft’s online strategy now that the company has decided against buying Yahoo? And Liddell’s answer to that question hasn’t changed: Microsoft will continue to grow its online business organically while making smaller acquisitions in the space. Liddell spoke and fielded questions for close to an ...

Apple's not the only Valley company planning a big event next week. Yahoo's Hack Day, a gathering for developers who want to plug their services into Yahoo's websites, will double as an unveiling of Yahoo's "open strategy." What is this strategy, exactly? An attempt to take on Google and Facebook by making it easier to tap into Yahoo's search index and user profiles. What will be announced? Nothing you haven't already heard about, we expect, ...

Yahoo’s already crushed stock price has fallen further today - its down 8.36% since this morning, bringing it to a nearly five year low of $17.75. Yahoo has been as high as $34 in the last year (thanks to that Microsoft takeover bid), which means nearly $23 billion has been taken out of shareholder pockets in that period. How long can Jerry weather this storm? Is he willing to drive the company into the ground ...

Yahoo has highlighted a few more implementations of BOSS, the search API it launched in early July that allows third party websites to incorporate Yahoo search functionality seamlessly into their sites. This is the second time Yahoo has showcased the fruits of BOSS developers. In early August, Yahoo drew attention to 4HourSearch, the Cuil knock-off formerly known as Yuil; PlayerSearch, a sports-focused search engine; Newsline, a tool for plotting news items on a timeline; and ...

Yahoo might be keeping everyone occupied with news related to launching a new service to pulling the shutters down on one but what remains the most glaring of facts is the continuous decline in its share value. The current share breaks all lower bounds that the company has ever seen the last half decade. The company had put down its deal with Microsoft and its board (particularly Jerry Yang) faced immense criticism due to their ...

Even though the drama surrounding Microsoft’s Yahoo acquisition has subsided, it looks like there’s still some bad blood. A tipster yesterday sent us a screen shot of Yahoo’s front page running on Internet Explorer with a Firefox recommendation sitting atop the page. “Yahoo recommends upgrading to the NEW safer, faster Firefox 3,” the ad says. Yahoo still offers its version of Internet Explorer on its Downloads page, but if it isn’t safe or fast when ...

As we noted earlier about Yahoo’s dicey situation, in a back-to-school post about what various Internet companies need to focus on in the months ahead: Simply put, time is running out for the languid stylings of Yahoo management, whom I hope have been ferreting away since the controversial annual meeting at the start of August on a ...

Although Google is the best in U.S., it certainly doesn’t means that it has outclassed Yahoo everywhere. In the Japanese online market, Yahoo has succeeded in keeping the top spot for the month of June, 2008. Google has maintained the next spot followed by Google and Rakuten. Yahoo’s total number of visitors in June were 46.1 million, where as Google’s visitors were around 35.8 million and Rakuten Inc’s visitors were 30.8 million. Yahoo and Livedoor ...

今天在ReadWriteWeb上面提到了Marc Canter(CEO of Broadband Mechanics)正在写的一篇叫做’How to build the Open Mesh’,Marc Canter在其Blog上面提到了四个目前将在其书中提到的网络平台,而这四个网路平台正代表着目前网络发展的趋势,开放统一的平台。目前这样的一个互联网环境,要想用一个统一的平台来一统天下,恐怕比较困难了,所以在构建自己统一平台的同时,还需要考虑和其他第三方开放平台的整合,只有这样才能真正的做到开放统一。 Google(大图) Yahoo!(大图) Microsoft(大图) FaceBook & MySpace(大图) 1.Google Google推出的每一个服务基本上都是开放的,这也体现了Google希望提供一个免费的开放的统一的平台,OpenSocial ,以及最近推出的Android Market,都显示这其很好的驾驭开放平台的能力,当然要将所有的Google服务整合到一个更加大的平台上来,也许还有很长的路要走,毕竟Google收购的项目确实也相当的多。不过个人感觉Google是最有实力来构建这样一个网络平台的。 2.Yahoo! 之前微软一直嚷着要收购Yahoo,最近Yahoo貌似也有很多人员离去,但是作为互联网老牌的一个公司,Yahoo也有着其优势,Yahoo本身服务的构架还是很好的,也难怪微软对其虎视眈眈啊,毕竟在互联网领域,Yahoo还是要胜微软一筹。 3.Microsoft 我之前也介绍过Live Mesh,是微软花费两年多时间打造的(Synchronize)同步服务,Live Mesh旨在将不同设备(手机,电脑,网络)间的文件、设置、各种应用(比如书签、订阅的feed,也包括软件)进行同步。微软话这么多精力来打造这个Live Mesh,显然不是为了玩玩而已,微软显然不想再互联网一直跟着Google跑,Live Mesh的出现也为微软将其所有网络服务整合提供了一个想象的空间,这样的一个平台如何如其他第三方的开放平台对接整合是需要再去考虑的地方吧。 4.FaceBook & MySpace Facebook开放的是基于其用户系统的API,因为它本身就是一个sns社区,因此“人”是整个网站的基点,更是整个网站驱动的爆发点。一个应用,做好了,满足了用户的需求,会在facebook这个平台得到快速成长,份额爆长,对于应用的开发者,facebook,以及用户,三方来说都是有“利”可 言的。(Via)而之前Myspace流量超过Yahoo,成为美国最大互联网展示广告网站。这种以社会化网络为载体的平台,有着庞大的用户群,貌似更加具有成为平台的优势和基础。 未来平台注定不可能是唯一的,Google,Yahoo,微软,FaceBook等在构建自己的开放平台的同时,肯定还需要考虑如何更好的能够和别家的开放平台有效的进行整合,这样网络就能构成一个更大的网络大平台吧。 以上的我根据Marc Canter的介绍,加入了些自己的见解,不足之处也欢迎大家一起来探讨,或者到时去买Marc Canter的新书吧:) 相关文章推荐Yahoo推出Ymail (2)Mediawombat:Flash及媒体搜索引擎 (0)GMDesk:Google应用程序Adobe AIR客户端 (0)FaceSearch:可视化人脸搜索引擎 (1)Gmail小技巧合集 (3) © watsonxu for 天涯海阁, 2008. | Permalink | 4 comments | Add to del.icio.us Post tags: facebook, google, microsoft, myspace, platform, review, yahoo 更多Web2.0资讯:Web2.0 News | Web2.0 Gallery | Mobile2.0资讯 ...

More recently, ComScore shows that in July, Yahoo Japan had ten times as many monthly pageviews (21.9 billion versus 2.2 billion for ...
