Yahoo's new strategy and the world's knowledge

Jeff Weiner explains the rationale on the new strategy for Yahoo to “ connect people to their passions, communities, and the world’s knowledge.”

"Our goal is to tie these underlying stores of knowledge together wherever and whenever it might be useful for you. In other words, we want to leverage our assets to build the most relevant, comprehensive, dynamic, and open repository of knowledge and content on the Web. One of the things we’re most excited about is the concept of “open,” and all of the potential we have yet to tap by opening up some of the most trafficked pages on Yahoo.com to the highest quality publishers on the Web, regardless of their size.

It would be interesting to see how Yahoo will integrate world's scientific knowledge in their new strategy.
