NetEase technology News November 20, according to BusinessInsider reported, when Marissa (Marissa Mayer) accepted the position of Yahoo CEO, she knew the company needs to strengthen mobile business. She once told Yahoo's board: "I think the mobile wave, if we can catch up and part of the use, can really push us forward." So at the Dreamforce meeting in the evening of Tuesday, she talked to Salesforce CEO Benioff (Marc Benioff) on the stage. She said she had met with unpleasant surprises four days after taking office. When she was walking in the restaurant, a clerk named Tony introduced himself as a mobile engineer. She said: "Great! How big is the mobile team? "He told her:" 30 people. "Surprised to see her, he said:" Oh, but there are more people in the (product) team, maybe 60 people. Yahoo's staff was about 15,000 (about 12,500 people at the time). So she went straight to the engineering department and asked how many mobile engineers they had. They told her: "Like 100 people," she asked, "is it true that 100 people?" Or would it make me feel happier to say 60 people as 100? They answered: 60 people. Then she said, "We have to change quickly." She promoted Adam Karn (Adam Cahan) as new head of mobile engineering and began recruiting and acquiring employment. Yahoo has about 400 mobile engineers today, she said. In addition, Yahoo Mobile end of the number of active users also reached 400 million. The figure has increased compared with the number she revealed at the TechCrunch Disrupt conference in September, when she said Yahoo had 350 million mobile subscribers. In addition, ComScore's latest report says Yahoo has won 82% of U.S. mobile users. This sounds like good news, though it does not reflect this rapid growth through revenue. (Mushulin)
