Yahoo appoints founder Jerry Yang as CEO
Internet giant Yahoo has decided to replace current CEO Terry Semel with founder Jerry Yang. Semel will now take over as the company’s non executive chairman. Taipei born Yang founded Yahoo along with David Filo in April 1995, and his return to managing company affairs nearly a decade later is a possible sign of the fact that Yahoo have decided to clean up their act and close the gap between them and Google.

Yahoo ties up with Paypal
Internet giant Yahoo has tied up with Paypal. Basically users of Yahoo search will see a little blue cart next to the results. The cart indicates that the merchant accepts Paypal, and that the buyer can buy easily and safely with Paypal. Also as Yahoo’s Tim Mayer puts it in his blog, you need not go about revealing your credit card and other information to all sellers. That point, elementary though it may seem, is a very valid one.
