Yahoo Buys Tumblr For $1.1 Billion

Yahoo Spends $1.1 Billion To Be Cool (Buy Tumblr)

We are sure you've heard the news by now, Yahoo has acquired Tumblr for a cool $1.1 billion in cash.

Seriously, everyone is talking about it - just see techmeme.

A WebmasterWorld thread talks about how we want this to make Yahoo cool and relevant. We want $1.1 billion to turn the company around. We do wish the best for Yahoo.



The concern is will Yahoo mess up Tumblr or will Tumblr clean up Yahoo?

What do you think?

Yahoo did some neat stuff with Flickr yesterday - so that is a good sign, I think.

Most SEOs Dislike Yahoo's New Home Page

A couple of months ago, Yahoo launched heir different design and we decided to poll our viewers questioning if they loved the new design or not.

Yahoo's New Home Page

Eventually, Yahoo has launch their new homepage after plenty months of experimenting on different designs.

Marissa Mayer, everyone know about this women, she is the new CEO of Yahoo and Former Googler said:

Designed to be more intuitive and personal, the new Yahoo! experience is all about your interests and preferences.

Rumor Radar: Yahoo! Plots Alliance With Facebook In New Search Deal

A Yahoo-Facebook Search Engine Would Be A Brilliant Move For Both Companies--Here's Why

According to unrevealed sources referred by The Sunday Telegraph, CEO of Yahoo, Marissa Mayer and COO of Facebook, Sheryl Sandberg, are in dialogue for a “major jump forward in search.” 

As anyone already knows, Bing is the only search engine who are using data from Facebook, and users this data in its social search programme. It is very improbable that a deal between Yahoo! and Facebook will be set up without Bing, yet not unlikely. The question is what occurs between Microsoft and Yahoo! if the bruited deal goes by, and how is Bing going to cope, thinking that “social search” is the search engine’s aim since 2010? 

Taking over that Facebook and Yahoo! do close a search deal, will this “spell the end ofYahoo!’s relationship with Microsoft,” as connote by The Sunday Telegraph? It is very improbable that Marissa Mayer will threaten one of the most profitable Yahoo! strives, the ad network presently running as Yahoo! Bing Network. What do you imagine? 

Yahoo To Offer Incentives To Users For Search On Yahoo Search Engine?

Report: Yahoo To Offer Awards To Search On Yahoo

I had read the user comment on WebmasterWorld forums. He has claimed that Yahoo is beginning an incentive program to encourage users to search on Yahoo search engine. 

He told to other users that he was in a meeting with "the Yahoo search team" and they said they are arriving out with a fresh new service named “Yahoo Incentivised Search." 

“Yahoo Incentivised Search" service will give you points for all searches done on Yahoo searchengine. Those points can be utilized in on featured Yahoo service/products and this kinds of program also launched by Microsoft in the past, that program called Bing Rewards. 

I am not completely sure about that program because this kinds of meeting are under strict non-disclosure agreements and to post what you listen in meetings like this is a huge risk. 

Will Yahoo come out with a Yahoo Search Awards or Incentives program?
