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

So sure, we obtained that tweet that I coated final week, adopted by plenty of 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 obtained much more – we now have a job itemizing for a Principal Product Supervisor, Yahoo Search. The job itemizing says, “We’re on the lookout for a Product Supervisor for Search at Yahoo. We’re on the lookout for of us which might be all for pushing past the established order to alter the way in which of us 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 wish to do huge issues once more with search. Below 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, beneath Jim Lanzone may be an fascinating Yahoo Search to have 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’ll be able to instantly have an effect this huge. Would love to listen to from you when you have a ardour for Search and constructing product experiences.”
That is thrilling – I believe it’ll take a yr or so to see something – however I’m wanting ahead to it.
