I think that the Yahoo Facebook integration & all of Yahoo's “Project Rushmore” is a wonderful thing.

It's amazing that Yahoo a giants of the web is/was so slow to understand the power of social media. I think this could be the changing point for them.

The first integration with Facebook is also a big thing for the "gated community" known as Facebook, finally they are letting there users some interaction with parts of the web outside the "Facebook fence".

Besides being a good move for both companies, this is a good move for web users & I think that's the bottom line.

Eitan.

This blog post is written as an assignment for a Technology & e-Business class taught at the Nanyang MBA.

A lot of competition is going on in the search market. Google has dominated this industry over the last decade. Yahoo and Microsoft both tried to beat the company from Mountain View with their own offerings. Smaller companies such as Cuil have tried to capture a part of the enormously profitable market as well. Let’s have a look at a few search engines that everyone talks about to see if scale matters in search.

The largest user base

Google is today’s most successful search engine. The company won the first “search engine war” because it was able to deliver the best search results when it mattered.

With the help of PageRank and an uncluttered interface Google was able to deliver much better search results and a better overall search experience when it first became available. The knowledge about this new search engine with the silly name spread virally. And to remain at the top Google started a continuous improvement process. The software and platform powering Google’s search engine and many services are analyzed day in and day out and with the help of multivariate testing and other methods and improved based on the results. Google capitalizes in its user base to stay on top and grow even further.

Google was the best search engine when it mattered, it had a sufficiently large index, it assembled an incredible platform to power its systems, and it has grown an enormous user base. But will it be able to stay on top?

The largest Index

Cuil (pronounced like cool) was one of the more promising companies that tried to compete with Google. In 2008 the company was launched with a lot of hype. The buzz generated around the company, which was founded by former Google employees, promised a search engine that should have been much better than Google’s. The company touted that its index of website was much larger than Google’s and its search engine therefore delivers better results. The rest is history, the meager search result quality (in the beginning) resulted in no one using Cuil today.

Cuil wasn’t able to capitalize on its (allegedly) larger index and failed. A large index alone obviously isn’t enough to compete with current search engines. Also Cuil was able to build this index far cheaper than Google but it obviously impaired the quality of the results delivered

The largest competitor

Microsoft was online very early but it still missed the importance of this paradigm shift. The company grew large with Software created for the Desktop. Windows and Office made MS successful and rich. On the web it has been a slightly different story. Even though Microsoft’s web properties are fairly popular its search engines never could capitalize on this.

Microsoft has had many goes at creating a search engine that could beat Google’s and its newest try, Bing, is (at least partly) based on technology developed by Powerset which was acquired by Microsoft in 2008.

Bing shapes up to be Microsoft’s most successful search engine so far but it is nowhere near Google’s market share. It is an uphill battle for Microsoft. Microsoft just announced that it will be powering Yahoo’s search, a clear sign to Google, and the company hopes that the larger user base will help it to improve its search further to be able to continuously erode Google’s market share.

Being a humongous corporation and having almost unlimited funds so far hasn’t been enough. In general, Microsoft’s size definitely is an advantage because of the resources it can put into a project. But Microsoft’s size also has put it on the radar of competition watch dogs. They inhibit the company to use its size efficiently in promoting the engine through its other offerings (e.g. Windows or Internet Explorer), if this is a good or a bad thing isn’t part of this post.

The largest Portal

On February 1st 2008 Microsoft offered to buy Yahoo for $44 billion and threw the smaller rival of its feet. Yahoo itself probably doesn’t know what it wants right now. First it was a link-list, then a search engine powered by Google, then a search engine powered by Yahoo itself, and now a search engine powered by Bing.

Yahoo had been at the forefront of development of the Internet by doing almost everything right before the offer. The exodus of key personnel and the ever increasing insecurity about Yahoo’s future made the company lose its game. One CEO later Yahoo tries to focus on its core competency which the company defines as Content. Yahoo’s portal always had been very successful and its website is one of the most visited on the net. Its search engine’s success on the other hand had been minor for a long time. Yahoo wasn’t able to catch a substantial part of the worldwide search market anymore.

Yahoo had and has the eyeballs but its search engine still wasn’t able to succeed. Just having a large user-base isn’t sufficient.

So, does scale in search matter?

Scale affects many parts of search. Scale is a factor in the quality of search results as well as the the amount of money that can be made.

As I just pointed out there is scale in:

  • The user base
  • The index size
  • The resources available (infrastructure and people)
  • etc.

Scale definitely is part of the search business. Only by indexing a large amount of websites is it possible to deliver good result.  Good results attract users and only if you have enough visitors can you make enough money to support an infrastructure which enables you to build a large index.

There now are different approaches such as a peer-to-peer based search engines that try to defy the paradigm presented before (see here & here) but it remains to be seen if taking out the infrastructure cost will be sufficient to compete with Google’s and Microsoft’s armies of engineers.

For now I have to disagree with Hal Varian! Scale is very important for a search engine to be successful.

While theoretically you can speed up your site by just blindly following advice from this blog and other sources, it is much better to understand what's going on on the page and what you're dealing with. That's where the tools come in. Some tools give you insight about the network activities going on between the server and the browser (packet sniffers), some help you benchmark code execution on the client (profilers), some even give recommendations specific to performance improvements. You should aim at mastering as many of the tools as possible, because there's no single one that is The Tool. And that's not a bad thing, it's normal, because performance optimization is a multi-discipline activity touching a lot of different aspects of the the development process.

Ca majoritatea românilor, am avut prima adresa de mail la Yahoo!. Când am început să folosesc e-mail-ul ca pe o unealtă de zi cu zi, deja nu mai aveam mare nevoie de vechea adresă şi n-o folosesc decât rareori. De asta nu am integrat-o nici în clientul de e-mail management (ex: Thunderbird). Totuşi, atunci când o fac, şi intru direct pe site-ul Yahoo!, sunt descurajat din primul moment.

În primul rând nu poţi selecta ca username-ul şi parola să fie stocate în browser. Lucru care te duce la următoarea problemă, şi cea mai enervantă, după mine. Dacă eşti un utilizator mediu al PC-ului, logic ar fi, ca după ce iţi scrii username-ul, să apeşi tasta "tab" pentru a sări la câmpul următor şi a introduce parola. Foarte frumos, numai că apăsând 'tab' sari la câmpul următor ce este o adresă exemplificativă a username-ului. Şi, supriză, după ce scrii ca zevzecul parola şi apeşi tasta enter, nu intri în mail cum vroiai, ci te trezeşti că ţi se deschide clientul default de mail care te îmbie să trimiţi un mesaj la free2rhyme @yahoo.com. Nu mulţumesc.

Concluzia e că, până nu văd o schimbare (mi se pare ciudat ca o companie de anvergura Yahoo să aibă scăparea asta, care deşi e mică,e şi foarte enervantă) în bine, n-o să-mi mai verific mail-ul pe această adresă.

Şi, uau, le-am îngenuncheat traficul. Nu, dar iau atitudine. Nu mă respecţi, nu folosesc serviciul tău.

Yahoo is targeting creatives in their latest campaign to increase brand awareness. It is a smart move to appeal to creatives in the hope that they would think about Yahoo in their concepts as they are not often targeted. The question remains however how much have creatives to say about media channels in an agency? Anyways, it is a good laugh!

El diseño de una UI da muchas pistas acerca de si está bien diseñada y programada tras su cara más o menos bonita. No hablo de paleta de colores, uso de grids para organizar contenidos ni nada de eso, sino de la lógica del diseño y, por tanto, del servicio. Comparando la página de login de Yahoo (para acceder a Flickr) y a Posterous se ven claramente las grandes diferencias:

1. La típica opción "remember me" en Yahoo está habilitada por defecto, mientras que en Posterous no. Esta diferencia me molesta especialmente, tanto en mi rol de profesional en la materia como en el de usuario. Aunque no comparto mi ordenador con nadie considero los remember me un fallo de seguridad y para colmo una molestia al tener que desactivarlos cada vez que quiero acceder. Aconsejo leer el micro artículo de 37signals y el debate al respecto en su blog Signal vs. Noise.
2. Posterous es parco en palabras, para hablar ya están las otras páginas, mientras que Yahoo escribe demasiado hasta para pedir tu ID (algo que suelo asociar a Microsoft).
3. Yahoo tiene un sign-in seat, Posterous no. He utilizado alguna temporada el sign-in seat y resulta poco fiable.

Resumiendo, Posterous tiene un servicio y una UI tipo web 2.0 mientras que Yahoo se ha quedado estancado en el tiempo. Posterous es mejor con amplia diferencia.
