ADDING MULTIMEDIA Yahoo! Co-founder and CEO Jerry Yang Outlines Vision To Become The Internet's Indispensable Starting Point Demonstrates Yahoo!'s Unwavering Focus on Delivering Relevant Experiences Across All Platforms & Devices; Co-founder David Filo Joins Yang On Stage, Showcases Technology Concepts LAS VEGAS, Jan 07, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Yahoo! (NASDAQ:YHOO) Co-Founder and CEO Jerry Yang kicked off the 2008 International CES Industry Insider Series today detailing the company's vision for delivering the most personally-relevant and indispensable Internet experience to consumers worldwide. Addressing the needs of today's users, Yang provided the first public demonstration of Yahoo!'s latest mobile offerings and offered a concept demonstration of the future of the desktop experience. In his speech, Yang said "from the newest to the most experienced user, Yahoo!'s goal is to be the simple starting point for a much richer and more complex world so you can get more out of it. Whether you're looking for fun, information, entertainment or social connections, you want to experience everything to the fullest - this is living life with an exclamation point." According to Yang, the company's goal is to strengthen Yahoo!'s role as the preferred starting point for anything and everything users need online. To this end, the company plans to focus resources on becoming the best starting point for the entire web. "To be the best starting point, it's clear that we need to open the Yahoo! experience to any device or user. Mobile is a perfect example since more consumers are soon expected to come and go from the Net via their phones rather than desktops," he said. "We're committed to creating the best and richest mobile experience for all consumers - making it extremely personalized to their individual style and needs while opening up the Yahoo! mobile platform to allow anyone to participate." Powering the Mobile Ecosystem During his address, Yang welcomed the company's executive vice president for Connected Life, Marco Boerries, on stage to demonstrate several new mobile offerings launched at this year's CES and to elaborate on Yahoo!'s mission to foster a mobile ecosystem - ultimately serving billions of users - by providing indispensable and compelling services to consumers, developers/publishers and advertisers. -- Announced today, the Yahoo! Mobile Developer Platform introduces a one-stop solution for developers to create mobile- optimized applications (i.e., mobile widgets) that are easy to build, quick to deploy and run across a wide selection of devices, thus making it easier for Internet content and services to "go mobile." It will provide developers with the tools to write code once and efficiently publish their content across hundreds of devices - instantly accessible by hundreds of millions of users. Yahoo!'s Mobile Developer Platform is expected to usher in a dramatic acceleration in the adoption of mobile services by creating an explosion of new choices for the consumer. The first third-party widgets built on this new platform - from launch partners including eBay, MySpace and Viacom - will be made available this week. -- Yahoo! added another essential new service today though the early beta launch of the new Yahoo! mobile home page, a visually-stunning and easy to navigate interface for the most visited mobile site in the U.S. (M:Metrics, October 2007) - destined to quickly become the essential starting point for the mobile Internet globally. Designed to incorporate the best "home page" elements from pioneering PC portals such as My Yahoo! and the yahoo.com front page, it embraces a dynamic, open and highly personalized approach. By visiting http://beta.m.yahoo.com from select mobile phone browsers, consumers will be able to get an at-a-glance update of what's new since their last visit (new emails, upcoming calendar appointments, etc), previews of their favorite web content (news headlines, weather conditions, etc), as well as tools to quickly get to their most frequently used services on the mobile Internet. -- The latest version of Yahoo!'s flagship, all-in-one mobile offering, Yahoo! Go 3.0, also launched in an early beta today. Yahoo! Go 3.0 builds on the success and popularity of the preceding 2.0 version: but where Yahoo! Go 2.0 was a collection of mobile-optimized Yahoo! services, Yahoo! Go 3.0 is an "open" environment including an enhanced design, the new Yahoo! home page and Yahoo!'s full selection of Mobile Widgets developed by third parties. Users now can tap into the vast selection offered by the rest of the Internet - making it even easier for mobile consumers to get exactly what they want, when they want it and how they want it. For additional information on all of Yahoo!'s announcements at CES 2008 please visit Yahoo!'s Mobile Press Room at http://mobile.yahoo.com/newsroom. A Starting Point for the Future Yang also provided a preview of several exciting technology concepts that deliver upon his vision by sharing a glimpse of what his Yahoo! Mail inbox could look like. Yang demonstrated how Yahoo! could determine a user's most relevant personal connections across both Yahoo! and multiple social networks. In doing so, Yahoo! would create a smarter mail box that prioritizes the most important messages from the most important people, providing a more personally relevant e-mail experience for consumers. Not only did Yang show how Yahoo! Mail could prioritize a user's most relevant connections, he also demonstrated how Yahoo! could open up Yahoo! Mail and incorporate mini applications (or widgets) from both Yahoo! and across the Internet. For example, by simply scrolling over relevant terms in their e-mail, users in the future could access things like maps, local reviews, invitations and more, directly from their inbox without having to open another browser. By opening up Yahoo! Mail in addition to other services across Yahoo!, third party developers would be able to create new applications that delight hundreds of millions of users worldwide. "Yahoo! has today outlined what is possible and that the future is not that far away," said David Filo, co-founder and Chief Yahoo!. "Yahoo! is uniquely positioned to make this all a reality - we have scale, a huge community of users, great applications and APIs and insightful data. We now have an open platform for third party developers to build some interesting applications." "That's the vision of the future we want to leave you with today: Yahoo! helping make the most of the Internet and the people you care about on whatever platform," he continued. "We will continue working to provide you with an online starting point that's more relevant, fulfilling and fun." About Yahoo! Yahoo! Inc. is a leading global Internet brand and one of the most trafficked Internet destinations worldwide. Yahoo! is focused on powering its communities of users, advertisers, publishers, and developers by creating indispensable experiences built on trust. Yahoo! is headquartered in Sunnyvale, California.

    Parmy Olson Forbes Staff I cover agitators and innovators in mobile. FOLLOW FORBES 9/30/2014 @ 12:55PM 122,847 views Finding Alibaba: How Jerry Yang Made The Most Lucrative Bet In Silicon Valley History This story appears in the October 20, 2014 issue of Forbes. Comment Now Follow Comments Yahoo's co-founder Jerry Yang at the office of his venture firm AME in Palo Alto, Calif. (Ethan Pines For Forbes) Jerry Yang’s Revenge - Forbes, 2014-10-20 Page 1 Jerry Yang is giving a quick tour of the conference room at his private investment firm in Palo Alto, Calif. It’s dotted with gifts and photos from his 20 years in Silicon Valley. Yahoo’s 45-year-old billionaire co-founder stops before a glass deal toy on a low table. “Um, I have no idea what that is.” He peers more closely, checks the date: September 2012. “That is… that was after I’d gone. I think that was the last deal I worked on at Yahoo.” The plaque commemorates what may have been one of the dumbest business decisions of all time. Yahoo’s board agreed to sell 523 million Alibaba shares, half of its stake, back to Alibaba at $13 apiece. Yang hadn’t been so keen to sell. They did anyway. By then he’d quit the board. Sure enough, Alibaba’s IPO last month rocked global markets. Shares of the Chinese e-commerce giant are now worth around $90. Yahoo still has a 16% stake worth $36 billion, but it left almost as much money on the table–some $35.5 billion–as its entire current market capitalization.

    Testimony of Jerry Yang Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder, Yahoo! Inc. before the Committee on Foreign Affairs U.S. House of Representatives November 6, 2007 Chairman Lantos, Ranking Member Ros-Lehtinen and members of the Committee, I am Jerry Yang, co-founder and board member of Yahoo! Inc. since its inception in 1995, and since this past June, Chief Executive Officer. I appreciate the opportunity to come before you today to address our role as a global business, the complex human rights and other issues at stake, and our commitment to free expression and privacy. Before I begin what I hope will be an ongoing and constructive dialogue about the roles and responsibilities of companies and the U.S. government on these issues, I would like to make two points clear at the outset. First, Yahoo! has been open and forthcoming with this Committee at every step of this investigative process. We have answered every question, provided every requested piece of information and worked with you in good faith. I, in turn, look forward to a productive working relationship with all of you as we collectively tackle the difficult broader issues. Second, Yahoo! is a company committed to doing the right thing and to protecting human rights globally. We are a company founded on openness, the exchange of information and user trust, and we believe deeply in free expression and privacy. On a personal level, the very serious human issues at stake cause me great concern. I’ve invested my professional life in this company, and I believe in the Internet and its incredible power.

  • Possible Endgames for Yahoo's Stake in Alibaba, Yahoo Japan

    Possible Endgames for Yahoo's Stake in Alibaba, Yahoo Japan

    June 8, 2017 By Stuart E. Leblang, Michael J. Kliegman and Amy S. Elliott Possible Endgames for Yahoo’s Stake in Alibaba, Yahoo Japan Stockholders of the American tech company Yahoo! Inc. (YHOO) voted June 8, 2017, to approve the taxable sale of Yahoo’s core operating business to the American telecom company Verizon Communications Inc. (VZ).1 After the transaction closes, which is expected to happen June 13, 2017, Yahoo will be renamed Altaba Inc. (AABA). Altaba will be a publicly traded closed-end investment company and will largely consist of a minority stake in the Chinese e-commerce company Alibaba Group Holdings Ltd. (BABA) and a minority stake in the Japanese internet company Yahoo! Japan Corp. (JPY). 2 After the sale, Altaba investors will continue to face the challenge of owning stock that trades at a discount to the value of its component parts. But some are optimistic 3 that Altaba will find ways to unlock value. One obvious way is for Altaba to take a tax hit, disposing of its stake in Yahoo Japan in a taxable transaction, possibly after the corporate tax rate is reduced (assuming lawmakers are able to pass tax cuts). This would leave Altaba to trade as a pure-play indirect investment in Alibaba. Other approaches that have been considered to one degree or another, each offering potential advantages over the above strategy, include: • Recapitalizing Altaba to create a dual-class stock structure that would separately track the underlying Alibaba and Yahoo Japan investments; • Disposing of the stake in Yahoo Japan but mitigating the tax with foreign tax credits; • Arranging for Altaba (after a divestment of its Yahoo Japan stake) to be acquired by Alibaba, likely in a tax-free exchange (which requires hook stock management strategies); • Disposing of Altaba’s Yahoo Japan or Alibaba stake by way of a section 355(g) cash-rich split-off; or • Pursuing bolder strategies, such as a leveraged buyout by individuals followed by a conversion to an S corporation or a mutual fund combination.

    The Hill Keeping Skilled Phd and Masters Graduates in America Is

    The Hill April 19, 2016 Keeping skilled PhD and Masters graduates in America is smart economic policy By C. L Max Nikias During the primaries, the national debate on overhauling America’s immigration system has once again been ignited. To be sure, it is a complicated debate with few areas of universal consensus. But there is one initiative with broad support that is consistently lost within the greater discussion. Democrats, Republicans, Big and Small Business alike and Labor all agree that we must allow foreign graduate students at American universities, particularly those in STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) disciplines, to remain in our country to create jobs, innovate, and enhance our global competitiveness. Today, where economic competitiveness is global in nature, the whiz kids that American universities produce are sent packing upon graduation. Instead of a “brain gain,” we are left with a “brain drain” resulting in their innovations and jobs being created abroad—and not in America. America’s top research universities are still the envy of the world and a magnet for the best and brightest minds. Almost everywhere in the world, you will find that the aspirational family dreams of seeing its children educated at an American research university. Rightly recognized as a pipeline to success, immigrant graduate students are driven, hard-working, and competitive - leading to more innovations. The results speak for themselves. A Kauffman Foundation study found that 25.6 percent of patent applications listed foreign nationals residing in the United States as either inventors or co-inventors. Indeed, immigrants are an important part of America’s historic and current business and entrepreneurial success.
