Mr. Yang has become the co-founder of yahoo. And he wants to change the program to have it connect to some outside connections beyond the inside applications that it has. It will supposedly help money income. Right now yahoo remains the most popular property on the web, but that can change. Mr. Yang wants to transform yahoo into a powerful communication hub. He wants to take some similar ideas of facebook and others to include in the changes made to Yahoo. Some other challenges after changing all the necessary things, yahoo also has to deal with having better advertisement then Google. Which will be very hard since Google, in only a year has taken the 22 million visitors of yahoo to 5 million. Yahoo is loosing so many also due to the new generation who uses more search engines and social networks A yahoo chairman said that yahoo has to offer instant messaging, e-mail, news maps and also other content and services that may interest the new generation. In the fall of 2006 yahoo, an effort towards making it available to everyone began. One of the changes of yahoo was link outs. When yahoo used these on a real estate page they received 96 million visitors in November, more than any page on the internet. They are also trying to add more interesting things on the main page of yahoo that will draw the user in. The changes started to work the visitors for the first page increased by 6 million people in the last year. All these changes and modifications to yahoo have either been successful or not hat far away from being completed.
I think that this plan will start to help yahoo alot but i think with the new networks coming out like the one created by Mark Zuckerberg which was facebook, it will becoem a hard challenge. I think the help of having others contribute to the facebook webpage will help it be up to date with new and exciting things.
