Washington Post sold to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos for $250m | Media | The Guardian

Posted on by

Bezos told the Post that as its new owner he would be entering “uncharted terrain” that would “require experimentation”. He tried to assuage those who fear his reign might bring editorial interference by saying “there would be change with our without new ownership. But the key thing I hope people will take away from this is that the values of the Post do not need changing. The duty of the paper is to the readers, not the owners.”

Yahoo’s Marissa Mayer: Search is far from over | Internet & Media – CNET News

Posted on by

Mayer, who spent 13 years in the maw of search at Google, thinks Yahoo has a chance for a breakthrough in search that could lead to growth. Search, which can convey a lot about user intent, leading to more dollars per click, is the rocket ship that led Google to $14 billion in revenue for its last quarter. But Yahoo doesn’t own a search engine. For now, Yahoo is partnered with Microsoft for search results, which limits the scope of what those Ph.D.s could do to revolutionize search.

Mayer is taking the long view. “Search is far from over,” she stated in the interview. “It’s physics in the 1600s or biology in the 1800s. There’s miles to go before you get to quantum physics or even a microscope. There’s a lot of that you can do once you have mobile, and we are going to be very focused on the user experience.”
