important information way
Search as a paradigm will continue to be probably even increasingly important because the information that's out there is only going to grow exponentially - and the only way to sort through all that is by some form of search.
awareness dedicated education information promoting
Yahoo! is dedicated to promoting community awareness through outreach, education and information access.
nearly
The Internet is not nearly as fail-safe as the phone system.
ad advertising demanding general interests match relevant
Advertisers in general are demanding a more and more relevant experience. The more we know about a user, where they are located, what their interests are, the more we can match the right ad to the right time.
people
People should think about e-mail as something where they are archiving their lives.

Search is essential to every service that Yahoo offers.
expect immediate require
What I didn't really expect getting into it was probably that it would require so much immediate attention.
years ideas purpose
Twenty years later, the core of Yahoo is still the same. We are driven by the same purpose—to be your guide around the web. You may not know how much you motivate us every day by using our products and sharing your ideas, but you do. Thank you.
jobs thinking creating
What's been important with Flickr is the community that's been there from the beginning and the serious photographers that are there creating and sharing great content. If we lose that at some point then I think we have potential issues, but so far we've been able to do a really good job of maintaining that.
people marketing add
First of all we had very few users. We might have had a hundred accesses a day. So there was really no demand from the users to add their own links. Things changed over time though as our access rates doubled every month. Through word of mouth on the Net more and more people began using it.
inspirational reliability causes
The Net as a whole is not that reliable, so our blips in service don't cause major problems. However, we are certainly working on improving our own reliability as well as those sites that we depend on.
return boards proud
I am incredibly proud to return to the Yahoo board.
track growth way
We started Yahoo in about April 1994. It started out as a way for us to keep track of things that we were interested in.
commitment want industry
We're not in this for the fast money. Really, what we want is to be part of this industry.
