Final week I reported that Yahoo Search posted on Twitter that it will likely be making search cool once more. As I posted on Search Engine Land yesterday, we received extra proof that Yahoo is absolutely transferring ahead with bettering its search service.
Final night time, Jim Lanzone, the CEO of Yahoo (extra about him under), responded to Greg Sterling and myself about Yahoo moving into search:
Greg, I believe you and Barry know – there are all the time new methods across the mountain. No motive to go straight at it. However we’re excited to begin exploring once more…and shall be affected person figuring all of it out.

So sure, we received that tweet that I lined final week, adopted by quite a few different tweets:
Simply popping in to remind everybody that we did search earlier than it was cool.
BRB making it cool once more.

However we received much more – we have now a job itemizing for a Principal Product Supervisor, Yahoo Search. The job itemizing says, “We’re in search of a Product Supervisor for Search at Yahoo. We’re in search of people which might be eager about pushing past the established order to alter the best way people work together and use search.”
Jim Lanzone, who was the CEO of Ask.com and labored for a number of years for Ask.com (beforehand Ask Jeeves), who’s now the CEO at Yahoo. He’s a search man, initially, and I do suspect he’ll need to do massive issues once more with search. Underneath Jim, Ask launched some extremely progressive options, like Ask 3D – which Google type of ripped off with its Common Search – as some say… So I believe, Yahoo Search, underneath Jim Lanzone could be an attention-grabbing Yahoo Search to take a look at.
As I additionally mentioned on Search Engine Land, Brian Provost, SVP & GM, Yahoo posted on LinkedIn about this job itemizing and wrote, “There’s going to be a lot innovation in Search within the coming years and there aren’t many locations the place you may instantly have an effect this massive. Would love to listen to from you you probably have a ardour for Search and constructing product experiences.”
That is thrilling – I think it’ll take a yr or so to see something – however I’m wanting ahead to it.
