An interesting article as to the changes Yahoo has in mind for the future.

In coming years, Yahoo will focus on seeking and adopting new technologies, incorporating user contributions into its services and sites, and extending its reach beyond the PC.

That was the main message from senior executives who spoke during the Sunnyvale, California, company’s meeting with financial analysts today.

You’re starting to look today at what we consider the next Yahoo said chairman and CEO Terry Semel.

Among the company’s “big bets” for the coming years is active employment of emerging technologies, such as AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML), Semel said.

Likewise, Yahoo will embrace new trends such as social media, in which online users create and submit content such as videos and blog entries, and participate in categorizing content with tags and labels, he said.
