Technology Review: Yahoo Ramps Up Research. For years, Yahoo has lagged behind its main rivals, Google and Microsoft, in offering new products and technologies. Consider that while Microsoft spent $6.18 billion on product development in 2005, Yahoo spent a mere $547 million. Now a new sense of urgency has taken hold in Yahoo’s research offices. Most recently, the company hired Raghu Ramakrishnan, professor at the University of Wisconsin in Madison and an expert in data mining, information retrieval, and privacy. He’ll work on the company’s social search technology (the best example is Yahoo Answers, which attempts to leverage the knowledge and experience of a community of people who answer questions and provide information).

Another new hire, expected to start next month, is economist Michael Schwarz of the University of California in Berkeley, known for his analysis of online advertising models. Technology Review asked Raghavan about his research projects and plans for Yahoo Research. TR: How has research at Yahoo changed? Pearltree7. My Yahoo!
