Yahoo Appoints DB Guru to Vie with Google
Yahoo has appointed a database guru to study links between computer and human-aided search. An ex-professor of computer sciences at UW-Madison called Raghu Ramakrishnan has been hired now in Yahoo Research assisting the company to define its social search plan. Yahoo peeps into social search as a main part of its plan against Google. Yahoo has invested profoundly in social search with the gaining of social bookmarking site del.icio.us and photo sharing site Flickr. Yahoo has also developed a service called Yahoo Answers which matches user questions with user answers.
