It’s thriving in CES 2014. Hundreds and thousands
consumer electronic products have been displayed in the show. What’s your expectation?
The hot spot in the first day of CES must be Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer unveiled
some of the company's news plans for the year, announcing daily summary News
Digests and digital magazines, including a tech-news property led by
former New York Times columnist David Pogue.
Mayer announced that Yahoo has
acquired Aviate, a smartphone launcher that automatically organizes your apps
based on usage data and locations. And no doubt to the chagrin of some Tumblr
diehards, she brought Tumblr founder David Karp out to talk about ads on
Tumblr, which will now be powered by Yahoo ad tech.
Yahoo News Digest provides two daily
summaries, one in the morning, and one in the evening. According to remarks by
Summly founder Nick D'Aloisio, they include all the important news of the day,
blending tech and journalism. It's a separate app for your smartphone, and it's
different in delivery and presentation, as each story is created out of
multiple stories, including art, graphics, photo, details, etc., he said.
Mayer said Yahoo would bring users new ways
to consume content with Yahoo digital magazines, starting with Yahoo Food and Yahoo
Tech, led by Pogue, a recent hire at Yahoo. Mayer said digital magazines will
be a core part of the Yahoo strategy.
