"Yahoo Scout is a new, free AI search engine (it’s also an omnipresent button across Yahoo verticals like Finance, Sports, and Mail) that’s there to summarize the performance of a business or break down the key moments of a game."

The legacy web company Yahoo still commands staggering internet mindshare as it pivots into the AI age with an AI search engine of its own. f-st.co/h57lE0C

Thanks @ollieforsyth for chatting with me and @jlanzone about @Yahoo's history and legacy, our current focus on tripling down on our consumer products, and where we think AI will impact our future starting with Yahoo Scout (scout.com). 🙌

Do you remember that magical moment when you set up your first email address?

Well there's a strong likelihood it was on @Yahoo - remember them?

The social media giant has been relatively quiet over the years... until now. They're striking back alongside their mighty 700 MILLION users!

I just spent some time with their CEO, @jlanzone and SVP Head of Research, @efeng who explained where Yahoo is, where they are heading and why they might just be one of the most powerful private internet companies out there.

They're private. They're sitting on 30+ years of data. They can literally move at their own pace.

Throughout this episode, we learn 👇

1. How Yahoo is rebranding itself

2. Jim explains why he isn’t using AI to replace humans

3. Why Yahoo has the unfair advantage in this fast-moving AI race by sitting on 30 years of proprietary information

4. Yahoo's latest products such as MyScout - the first personalized homepage for AI answers

5. How the internet darling went from a public company to private and how the team deconstructed the cake by bringing it back to life

6. Eric explains why you should have a niche and own it.

So much to unpack in this one. Link in the comments!

Big thanks @jlanzone and @efeng for coming on NEW ECONOMIES!

Onwards!

This is incredible. I wonder how many ligaments and tendons @lindseyvonn would have to tear before I could ski faster than her. Maybe both ACLs and an Achilles?

One week after tearing her ACL, Lindsey Vonn's highly anticipated training run went off without a hitch 🎿
