HTC : Soon Facebook Smartphones to be launched in tie-up

Facebook Smart phone, when it is really within functions, might ready to become launched simply by 2013 right after it had been uncovered that this social giant gets involved with HTC to build up the actual mobile phone. According to Bloomberg, The world’s largest online social network with close to a billion users is planning to make its own Smartphone.

Facebook is actually comprehended to tie up with HTC in order to release the 'Facebook phone' through earlier 2013. We have noticed earlier the Facebook Smartphone in works under the code name – “Project Buffy“. Additionally this particular information associated with tie-up along with HTC continues to be additional credit reporting the prior gossips from the tie-up among each company.

 This is simply not the very first time that this social networking is actually flirting with the concept of Facebook mobile phone. It had earlier worked with INQ Mobile and even HTC for the ChaCha and HTC Salsa Android Smartphone that had a dedicated Facebook button. Additionally, it involved with MediaTek to get Facebook integration within functional mobile phones aside from getting applications throughout systems.

 The particular mobile phone is going to be essential for future years associated with each company. More than half of Facebook users access the social network from their phones that bring no advertising revenues. HTC, on the other hand, has seen declining profits for three consecutive quarters and desperately needs a hit.

 Although Mark Zuckerberg declined a social media Smartphone making any sense at the recently announced quarterly result, we believe the company is keeping the social media handset under veil of secrecy. Simply think about this - App Center, Facebook’s deep integration with other mobile OS, Messenger services and Instagram camera app. Who wouldn’t want to consider the next consistent step would be a Smartphone?

Yahoo : Got its NEW 'CEO'

SUNNYVALE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Yahoo! (NASDAQ:YHOO) today announced that it has appointed Marissa Mayer as President and Chief Executive Officer and Member of the Board of Directors effective July 17, 2012. The appointment of Ms. Mayer, a leading consumer internet executive, signals a transformed focal point on product modernism to compel user experience and advertising revenue for one of the world’s largest consumer internet brands, whose leading properties include Yahoo! Finance, Yahoo! Sports, Yahoo! Mobile, Yahoo! Mail, and Yahoo! Search.

Yahoo Inc pulled out Google Inc’s Marissa Mayer to turn out to be its new CEO, moving to an engineer with reputable Silicon Valley credentials to turn around the struggling past Internet powerhouse.

Marissa Mayer : New CEO of YAHOO Inc.

Mayer, 37, edged out front-runner and substituting Chief Executive Ross Levinsohn to become Yahoo’s third CEO in a year. She hopes to stalk losses to Google and Facebook Inc – which her high-status predecessors failed to do. Her hiring signaled that the Internet Company is probable to renovate its focal point on Web technology and products rather than beefing up online content.

Most recently, Mayer was responsible for Local, Maps, and Location Services for Google, the company’s suite of local and geographical products including Google Maps, Google Earth, Zagat, Street View, and local search, for desktop and mobile. Mayer joined Google in 1999 as its 20th employee and led efforts for many of Google’s most recognizable products, including the development of its flagship search product and iconic homepage for over 10 years. Mayer managed some of Google’s most successful innovations, launching more than 100 features and products including image, book and product search, toolbar, iGoogle, Google News, and Gmail — creating much of the “look and feel” of the Google user experience.

Mayer, Google’s 20th member of staff and first female engineer, has led a number of its businesses, and was attributed for envisioning the clean, simple and spotless Google search interface still in use at present, a key selling point for Web users. Also recognized for her feel affection of fashion and a regular on the society pages, she joins the exceptionally thin position of feminine Silicon Valley CEOs and told Reuters that she was instantly interested whilst Yahoo’s board reached out to her during mid-June.

“This is a very competitive and a tough space. I don’t think that success is by any means guaranteed,” she said. “My focus is always end-users, great technology and terrific talent.” Shares of Yahoo, valued less than half their original worth throughout its dotcom zenith, gained 2 percent to $15.97 in after-hours trading.

Mayer told Reuters Yahoo can excel as both a media and tech company: “There’s a very uninteresting debate happening around Yahoo between technology and media and it doesn’t really make sense to me. Because you look at most major technology companies, media is a big part of its business.” She said it was too quickly to converse about restructure, but was “sensitive to the fact that there has been a lot of change recently at Yahoo, so I don’t want to make unnecessary changes.”

Mayer said, “I am honored and delighted to lead Yahoo!, one of the internet’s premier destinations for more than 700 million users. I look forward to working with the Company’s dedicated employees to bring innovative products, content, and personalized experiences to users and advertisers all around the world.”

Yahoo! Co-Founder David Filo said, “Marissa is a well-known, visionary leader in user experience and product design and one of Silicon Valley’s most exciting strategists in technology development. I look forward to working with her to enhance Yahoo’s product offerings for our over 700 million unique monthly visitors.”

“The Board of Directors unanimously agreed that Marissa’s unparalleled track record in technology, design, and product execution makes her the right leader for Yahoo! at this time of enormous opportunity,” said Fred Amoroso, Chairman of the Board of Directors.

Mayer received her B.S. in Symbolic Systems and her M.S. in Computer Science from Stanford University, specializing in artificial intelligence for both degrees. She is recognized as an inventor on numerous patents in artificial intelligence and interface design.

“Yahoo!’s products will continue to enhance our partnerships with advertisers, technology and media companies, while inspiring and delighting our users. There is a lot to do and I can’t wait to get started,” Mayer said.
