Jerry Yang was birth in 1968. Nothing a few years ago, is now billionaires; Yang said, to do this work, there is a jump from a cliff feeling; Yahoo has not only a symbol of cultural network, or a symbol of popular culture;
The Internet (Internet) message on the ocean voyage, there is no
suitable navigation tools not sure. A pioneer in the development of
these tools are now wise to the lucrative returns.
Netscape''s Clark (Jim Clark) Andressen (Mare Andreessen) in 1995
developed the Netscape Navigator (Navigator), the company''s shares
listed on the Clark property reached 565 million US dollars, Andisen
reached 58 million US dollars. In this paper, say, "Yahoo!"
(Yahoo!) Companies also have the same brilliant experience. April 12,
1996 Yahoo stock listings, opening share price set at 13 US dollars, as
staggering demand, prices quickly pushed to 24.50 US dollars, the
highest earnings of 43 US dollars, 33 dollars per share to the final
closing. Listed on Yahoo''s market value reached 850 million US dollars,
a year ago experts estimated value higher than 200 times.
"Netscape" and "Yahoo" to deal with the network, but there are
significant differences. Netscape developed a friendly interface for
the Web software, users can browse through its worldwide website WWW,
and so on, and its success in the number expected. Yahoo in the strict
sense has never been any independent development of new software and
hardware products, "Yahoo" is a general Web search engine, at the
beginning, the only information "directory" on the Internet to its
www.yahoo.com form. This is worth noting, however, that fully explained
the difference between "knowledge economy" era of a feature: knowledge
and information reorganization will produce enormous economic benefits.
A Yahoo: a resounding names Now "Yahoo" is the
world''s most famous brands, as the value of intangible assets at least
several billion dollars. But its legacy is very interesting, it is by
Jerry Yang (Jerry Yang) and friend Filo (David Filo) in 1995, a night
in a dilapidated house either Webster''s Dictionary activities for their
"product" to fabricate the name. These "Ya" from Yang''s name, they had
the vision of Yauld, Yammer, Yardage, Yang, Yapok, Yardbird, Yataghan,
Yawn, Yaxis, and a series of possible names, suddenly they thought that
Yahoo letter combinations, and quickly turned the Webster''s English
dictionary at hand , found that this word comes from Swift''s
"Gulliver''s Travels Bigley," referring to a vulgar, vulgar star
animals, it is the various practices. The word is obviously not Blair,
but a carefully pondering, "anti-use of its justice." While emphasizing
equal rights on the Internet are all it Rural mediator. To increase
color algorithms, insert a ticket, so there will be a "Yahoo!" . "Yes,
very good, it is, this is simply oracle (oracle)." Finally,
they will be companies, as Yahoo! Now many of the media that "Yahoo"
often missing ticket, it is wrong. Yahoo!读作YAHHH-hoo，不读作Yaaaaa-hoo. Yang and Filo the "product" is precisely "You Lake levels"
(Hierarchical Oracle) database to organize in the form of Grid Resource
List. Oracle purported "oracle" and "Kai" in the information industry,
which is a large database of well-known software brands, the major use
of such a database libraries.
2, Stanford event friend
Yang was born in China Taiwan in 1967, and spent his childhood in
Taiwan. In his two-year-old when his father''s death. His mother is a
professor of English and drama, alone in raising Yang Yang and his
brother Ken. Yang''s aunt was living in the United States, to their
children''s education and future development, the family moved to the
United States, settled in San Jose, California. Yang studying very
hard, was admitted to Stanford University in 1990. He likes the strict
engineering courses, and by the "Silicon Valley", is a group of Silicon
Valley engineers create msity, in which
occupies an important position, so he chose electronic engineering
professionals. Although the course is very tight, Yang still
participate in many social activities, joined the Students Association,
which inadvertently tempered his social skills for the future
independently, controlling a vigorous media company laid the
foundation. He also economic elective courses, he has a hazy idea of
the future to run their own companies, but dreaming thought so
successful.
He and his brother Ken Yang coexist very well. Ken Zhi Yuan
than two years later went to Stanford, they are in electronic
engineering, also chose exactly the same doctoral thesis research. They
are two categories of people, Ken is vegetarian, like mountaineering
and camping, but not absolute monk. Yang spent four years finished his
undergraduate and master''s degree in Reading, Dr known Filo. In the
study, work and entrepreneurship later in the process they have become
normal. In fact accurate to say Filo also as a teacher counseling Jerry
Yang, Yang joked that the original fee-only gave him a B-class score.
Yang and Filo are complementary talents, with the Taoist terminology
speaking on behalf of Jerry Yang, "Yang" (true) and that the Romanian
representative "Yam." Young likes Communication is a thinker, strong
social activities; Filo and knowledgeable, down-to-earth work, he has
written the most search engine code. Of course, Young''s professional
skills are solid, with a very calm. After Yang said he and Filo is the
best combination, "in a commercial sense, it would be hard to find
better than our complementary match, we can each other and mutual
understanding, although nature is very stubborn, but at the crucial
moment to understand each other, a performance is not stubborn." Their
world, sensible and technology are both share similar views, they even
have a common doctoral mentor, and Filo he lived next door to the
hostel. 3, Le early storm to the infinite Yang and
Filo Dr. initial study was to engage in automatic software development,
but because of a small number of large companies monopolize the market,
leaving little chance that they do not know how to start. To avoid
choosing, they decided to do other things. It so happened at Stanford
University and the Japanese educational cooperation projects, Yang and
Filo decided to use this opportunity to go to Japan to teach, as a
publicly-funded them to travel. The profound friendship between them is
also in Japan to establish. In Japan they are counting foreigners,
therefore, meals and entertainment are often together. Their common
love is to see sumo competition. In Japan, Yang became acquainted with
the Japanese-Costa Rica a girl her name Jiaoaji Branch (Akiko).
Ito also from Stanford University, but she is not as students but as
teachers sent. Back to the United States, they often date, the 1996
Summer engagement. Top Stanford Yang and Filo on the campus
established that the activities of the small, they have their own home,
but the day bubble here, they used their own worship sumo athletes
named their work base. They have to re-consider allowing them were
racking their brains about doctoral study. Foreign instructors are due
to leave at that time, not for their immediate reminder. And
then they suddenly obsessed with the Internet, which changed their
destiny. Every day, they have a few hours in the Internet bubble,
respectively, to their favorite information linked together, the above
there are various things, such as research, information and tennis
competitions. Yahoo from here up. At the beginning of their
independence to develop their own web pages, only occasionally
interested in the content of each other''s reference to each other,
gradually increasing their links to the information widely, they both
also on the website together, collectively referred to as "Jeremy Web
Wizard" (Jerry''s Guide to the World Wide Web), "
