Vice President of Yahoo! Research Europe and Latin America, Ricardo Baeza - Yates will make a presentation at the office ' Yandex ' on Friday, August 15.
Guest Lecture of the capital will be devoted to current problems and methods of information retrieval, and all interested in this topic may be pre- registered, to attend the event, and along with a tour of one of the offices of the domestic search giant.
Recall that in recent years have intensified rumors about the impending in the depths of Yahoo! entering the Russian market and to open a representative office in Moscow. Ads of employees in the division of the company appeared in Russia in the resource LinkedIn. Jobs CEO appeared on the site July 15 and July 28 has expanded the list of vacancy Director of Development.
Combining these facts gives rise to the assumption that the company deliberately Yahoo! dispatched one of the top managers in Russia, to conduct reconnaissance in force. In turn, his friendship with ' by Yandex ' ( U.S. office which, incidentally, recently headed a native of ' Yahoo! ') could develop into a business partnership, as both in Russia, a major problem - Google.
We recall a few years ago were talking about the fact that if a company wants to Yahoo! to enter the Russian market, for a place under the Russian sun it does not have to fight with local players, and with Google. And after buying ' Runner ' by Google, many talked about the aggressive policies of the U.S. corporations seeking to take the lead in the Russian market.
