We hopped on the conference call Yahoo orchestrated for the occasion, and picked up on some interesting things said by Yahoo chairman Roy Bostock on the future of the company. Bostock said, in no uncertain terms, that Yahoo is currently, and will likely stay a public company. In other words: so much for the full buyout scenario.]]> http://www.inteloquent.com/2012/01/04/chairman-roy-bostock-expect-yahoo-to-remain-a-public-company/feed/ 0 http://www.inteloquent.com/2011/12/28/trademark-watch-what-is-yahoo-axis/ http://www.inteloquent.com/2011/12/28/trademark-watch-what-is-yahoo-axis/#comments Wed, 28 Dec 2011 14:52:06 +0000 Robin Wauters http://techcrunch.com/?p=474661 Last Friday, troubled Internet giant Yahoo filed a new trademark application with the USPTO. I can't find any record of an existing Yahoo product or service by the name, so I figured I should just throw it out here for all of you to speculate what the company has up its sleeves. The name, before I forget to mention it, is Yahoo Axis. That will make you none the wiser, but perhaps the classes and descriptions might.]]> http://www.inteloquent.com/2011/12/28/trademark-watch-what-is-yahoo-axis/feed/ 0 http://www.inteloquent.com/2011/12/14/new-features-coming-from-yahoos-livestand-video-demo/ http://www.inteloquent.com/2011/12/14/new-features-coming-from-yahoos-livestand-video-demo/#comments Wed, 14 Dec 2011 04:28:00 +0000 Josh Zelman http://tctechcrunch2011.wordpress.com/?p=468354 Later this month Yahoo plans to release new features for its iPad based app, Livestand, which was launched in November and Yahoo describes as a "digital newsstand" where users can "create a personalized magazine based on topics" they find interesting.

Yes, the three internet behemoths today announced agreements that they hope will improve the process of buying and selling premium online display inventory. In other words, the agreements will allow each to offer the other's display ads to their respective customers.]]> http://www.inteloquent.com/2011/11/09/aol-yahoo-and-microsoft-band-together-to-fend-off-facebook%e2%80%99s-ad-assault/feed/ 0 http://www.inteloquent.com/2011/11/01/yahoo-backed-hortonworks-debuts-apache-hadoop-data-platform/ http://www.inteloquent.com/2011/11/01/yahoo-backed-hortonworks-debuts-apache-hadoop-data-platform/#comments Tue, 01 Nov 2011 11:59:30 +0000 Leena Rao http://techcrunch.com/?p=445277 As reported earlier this year, Yahoo and Benchmark Capital announced their backing and Apache Hadoop spin-off Hortonworks. The startup was launched to accelerate the adoption of Apache Hadoop, the open source software that powers the data processing engines of the world’s largest web sites. Today, Hortonworks is debuting the Hortonworks Data Platform. The company also announced support and training offerings and partner enablement programs to aid enterprises, ISVs and systems integrators in implementing Apache Hadoop-based solutions.]]> http://www.inteloquent.com/2011/11/01/yahoo-backed-hortonworks-debuts-apache-hadoop-data-platform/feed/ 0 http://www.inteloquent.com/2011/10/14/yahoo-wants-us-to-blog-about-yahoo-news-promises-seo-boost-in-return/ http://www.inteloquent.com/2011/10/14/yahoo-wants-us-to-blog-about-yahoo-news-promises-seo-boost-in-return/#comments Thu, 13 Oct 2011 20:24:25 +0000 Sarah Perez http://techcrunch.com/?p=435711 Oh Yahoo!, you silly ol' thing! According to an email that just came in from Yahoo's digital marketing agency Something Massive, the struggling content company (platform company? advertising company?) wants us to talk about, tweet about and Facebook about their Yahoo! News Activity feature, and in return it's promising lots of links and SEO juice. In case we forgot what Yahoo! News is, they helpfully linked to a TechCrunch post detailing the service's social upgrade in September. Well, here you go, Yahoo. You're welcome. Can you please send over those half a million impressions you promised now? (P.S. By the way, "TechCrunch" is all one word.)]]> http://www.inteloquent.com/2011/10/14/yahoo-wants-us-to-blog-about-yahoo-news-promises-seo-boost-in-return/feed/ 0 http://www.inteloquent.com/2011/10/01/buying-yahoo-is-a-no-brainer-for-alibaba/ http://www.inteloquent.com/2011/10/01/buying-yahoo-is-a-no-brainer-for-alibaba/#comments Sat, 01 Oct 2011 01:43:56 +0000 Alexia Tsotsis http://techcrunch.com/?p=430046 Today at the China 2.0 conference at Stanford, Alibaba Groups's Jack Ma replied to a pointed question about buying Yahoo with, “We are very interested in Yahoo. Our Alibaba group is important to Yahoo and Yahoo is important to us … All the serious buyers interested in Yahoo have talked to us.” Those "serious buyers" most likely include Alibaba Group investor Silver Lake Partners, Microsoft and Andreesen Horowitz, who have all reportedly reached out to Yahoo's board.]]> http://www.inteloquent.com/2011/10/01/buying-yahoo-is-a-no-brainer-for-alibaba/feed/ 0 http://www.inteloquent.com/2011/09/27/you-can-now-get-a-taste-of-the-new-delicious-screenshots-video/ http://www.inteloquent.com/2011/09/27/you-can-now-get-a-taste-of-the-new-delicious-screenshots-video/#comments Tue, 27 Sep 2011 08:11:07 +0000 Robin Wauters http://techcrunch.com/?p=427532 Delicious is back. Million dollar question is not: will you use the revamped social bookmarking service? But rather, will your mom, sister, and that dorky teenage kid from across the street use it? As you may have heard, Delicious was saved from Yahoo's incompetent hands by AVOS, the new startup created by YouTube founders Chad Hurley and Steve Chen, in April 2011. Today, AVOS is relaunching Delicious, which they say was "rebuilt from the ground up".]]> http://www.inteloquent.com/2011/09/27/you-can-now-get-a-taste-of-the-new-delicious-screenshots-video/feed/ 0
