Product excellence is vital to our future. We’re building an organization
with a continuous cycle of innovation and reinvention.
In today’s digital marketplace, user demands
change rapidly. Leveraging our strong user
connections, access to vast content, and deep
technology expertise, we’re accelerating
the pace of product innovation and delivering
world-class user experiences.
We recently introduced a new, modern,
and faster Yahoo.com. Optimized for Web,
mobile, and tablets, the new Yahoo.com
offers a personalized newsfeed with a virtually
endless stream of news articles and deeper
social integration.
In line with our mobile focus, we launched a
new version of our Mail product across four
platforms: desktop, iOS, Android, and Windows 8.
The new Yahoo! Mail is faster and easier to use.
This is good news for the 105 million users who
send, on average, 91 million emails and 23 million
attachments every day.
We also launched a new Flickr iOS app that has
been hailed as one of the best mobile photo
apps. The new app allows users to capture, share,
and discover photos by email, with the Flickr
community, and with their social network of
choice. With a library of more than 8 billion
photos, 346 million of which are geotagged,
and more than 1.6 million interest-based
photo groups, users can explore photography
through one of the most active photo
communities in the world.
Yahoo! is one of the largest content publishers
on the Web. Each day, nearly 95,000 stories
are available on our properties. We’re working
to increase that significantly, by growing our
premium and original content, curated content,
and user-generated content.
We’ve made great progress and will continue
to pursue innovation across platforms that align
with consumers’ evolving needs and desires.
Delivering
product excellence
Yahoo! plans to provide more media
content and greater personalization
across multiple platforms.
The Yahoo! Mail tablet experience has been
re-imagined. With full screen magazine-
style reading and new sort and delete tools,
it’s faster, more fun, and easier to manage.
“We took our cues from users
and made the new Mail design
simple and clean, with improved
speed and efficiency.”
– Guilherme Chapiewski
Sr. Engineering Manager, Mail and Search,
Yahoo! Mobile
