Bartz: Yahoo is interested in acquiring a start-up enterprise

Yahoo CEO Bartz (Carol Bartz) Beijing time April 29 morning news, according to foreign media reported today, Yahoo CEO Bartz (Carol Bartz) said that the company in the next year to acquire small start-up companies are very interested, but she refused to the specific acquisition budget,　　and whether they intend to buy a location-based social networking site Foursquare comment. Bartz made the comments during her visit to the UK. Yahoo's goal is to personalize the homepage further, she said.　　The move is now gaining some ad revenue, as more and more people are starting to click on localized ads and news. "I'm not going to comment directly on Foursquare, but what I want to say is that localized information, where someone is located and what's happening around you, will be very interesting," Bartz said.　　"She believes localized services will be a huge growth force. Earlier reports said Yahoo is negotiating a takeover deal with Foursquare, valued at about 80 million dollars.　　Foursquare currently has more than 1 million users, and the company said earlier this week that it was considering financing or being bought. Asked about Yahoo's takeover budget, Bartz said: "It depends on how much they want." "Over the past year, Bartz has been trying to achieve her mission:" Integrate your world and other parts of the world into the Internet. "To compete with Google and Microsoft."　　Bartz believes that personalized Web sites and services will bring huge benefits, so that users can be located in accordance with the location of their unique advice and services, and can open the mobile market for advertisers. According to Bartz, Yahoo and Google are no less than the total number of potential mobile users, both of which are using agreements with operators and handset manufacturers to obtain mobile users.　　Last week, Yahoo had just signed a partnership agreement with Samsung, the world's second-largest handset maker.　　My Yahoo allows users to customize the Yahoo home page to suit their needs, although the service has been in place for some time, but Ms Bartz says only 15% of users now spend time customizing their home pages. For Yahoo's shortcomings, Bartz is not taboo. "I looked for a flight to Britain last week on the homepage, but found a 17-hour AP news," she said. That's not good, so I went through it again, this time it was a report from CNN, 38 minutes ago. This will be better. Everything should be done as real as possible. "Bartz insists that Yahoo will regain some of its share of the search market. After several quarters of declines, Yahoo's search market share began to stabilise in the last quarter.　　Bartz said last week that the company's share had bottomed out.　　According to comscore, the US internet traffic Monitor, Yahoo's share of the U.S. search market was 17% this March, with Google at 65% and Microsoft Bing 12%.　　Yahoo also gained exclusive internet access to the UK for the next three seasons in the Premier League football League. Asked if she feared that many developers would leave the company during her tenure, and that Yahoo was losing its creative power, Ms Bartz said she was not worried, saying: "You will see that we rely on social maps to create more products." I disagree and hate the idea that Yahoo no longer has the power to innovate. (PEI)
