Ari Balogh, CTO at Yahoo! just offered a preview at Web 2.0 Expo of a very new kind of Yahoo!. One that invites developers to take advantage of our huge scale to write applications that build on our existing properties (think Mail, Sports, Search, our front page, mobile, My Yahoo!, etc.), tap into millions of loyal users, and make Internet experience more relevant and useful.
Aristotle “Ari” Balogh is currently Chief Technology Officer at Yahoo!. He is responsible for company-wide product development which includes optimizing resources, speeding innovation, and ensuring the quality of Yahoo!’s products and services. He is focused on establishing a common architecture and building blocks to drive development aligned with corporate strategy and on improving the overall effectiveness of Yahoo!’s engineering efforts.

For many years, free and open source software was exclusively associated with the research community, in contrast to the closed source products developed by commercial software vendors. Yahoo! recently invited Tom Wasserman to give a keynote talk that describes the emergence of open source business, focusing on the growing commercialization of open source and offers some predictions for future directions related to the business of open source.

What exactly is a "Search Excellence Guru"? Jeremy Zawodny sits down with David Ciemiewicz (aka Ciemo) to find out.
Highlights from the conversation include Ciemo’s thoughts on how to use Pig and Hadoop to sift through petabytes of user logs to gain an understanding of user wants, needs, and desires; why he likes Pig Latin more than SQL; and why the map-reduce compute grid paradigm makes a great alternative to traditional databases such Oracle and MySQL, data warehouses and data marts.
