Success story
6. How it has been started?
In January 1994, Yang and Filo
were electrical engineering graduate students
at Stanford University.
In March 1994, "David and Jerry's Guide to
the World Wide Web" was renamed
"Yahoo!“. The "yahoo.com" domain was created
on January 18, 1995
7. Who thought of the idea?
Basically the idea of Yahoo was thought by David Filo and Jerry Yang.
Yahoo! Inc. and Netscape Communications Corp. are two of the
biggest names on the Internet, and each a Web legend in its own right.
So it's not too surprising that these two Silicon Valley start-ups have a
long history together. In 1995, in return for a graphical link on Yahoo!'s
homepage, Netscape co-founder Marc Andreessen lent David Filo and
Jerry Yang the computer equipment and phone lines they needed to
get Yahoo! up and running.
8. Factor of success
YAHOO has been very innovative in world wide
development and has very good partner base. The
office suit and operating systems are the main
success driver from them.
9. Story of Success
The story of Filo and Yang's success begins at Stanford
University, where the two doctoral candidates were
involved in a project to create computer chips using
computer-aided design. Both found the work less than
exciting, and when their faculty supervisor took a
sabbatical to Italy, the duo decided to take a little
sabbatical of their own. Forsaking their academic work,
they began spending most of their time surfing the Web.
