In 1988, a small German company named 1&1 acquired the marketing activities for BTX, the disturbed online service managed by T-Com (a sister concern of T-Mobile). The new corporation 1&1 decided to attempt something pioneering – a potential trademark of the company – and founded the initial main advertising campaign for an online service. The ads took the compound new technology and made it tempting and simple to understand. Interest raised and because of 1&1, BTX became the market head under its new name – T-Online. 1&1 had created a niche for itself as an innovative marketing company, but it also offered content for T-Online along with working in the expansion of new technologies and services. Along with others, 1&1 established the

It released its initial public offering on April 26 and it paid off big time. When trading began on the NYSE, AT&T Wireless released 360 million shares. Investors fell in step with underwriters' valuation of the stock, with shares opening at $30.12 and closing at $31.75; its pre-offer value was $29.50. By the time the bell rung to close the day on the exchange, AT&T Wireless had raked in $10.62 billion in new capital and that is how it set a record for the largest IPO in American history, a title the company held for six years.

Whether a Yahoo acquisition can lead to even a small share of “balance of power” in digital advertising is the big question. Yahoo plus AOL would give Verizon, the largest wireless telecom provider in the US, a reported 5 percent share of digital ad revenues globally. The most common argument is that Verizon is over paying for two things: a competitive content platform and better ad tech. Beginning with content, there are four kings: Google, Facebook, Snapchat and Netflix. Then we have a distinct second tier: Twitter, Hulu, Amazon and Microsoft.

Calendars have changed over time in so many ways. The moon, sun, planets, and stars have helped us during our existence.

Thanks to the ancient people we have a precise calendar that’s helpful today in our lives.

Alibaba is another key stakeholder in this deal. The 384 million shares of Alibaba Yahoo invested now worth almost $32 billion. After the deal with Verizon, Yahoo still keeps its 15 percent stake in Alibaba, which has been making tremendous profits for Yahoo for many years. If Yahoo sold the Alibaba stake outright, it would incur huge tax bill so Yahoo is aiming at how to minimize their tax bill. One possible method is letting Alibaba purchase the remaining asset of the renamed Yahoo company as a whole. Good news is that Alibaba has shown interests in purchasing back the

In 2008, the company struggle with several large layoffs. Meanwhile, Microsoft corporation made an unsolicited bid to acquire Yahoo for US $44.6 billion. But Yahoo formally rejected the bid. The company claimed that it substantially undervalues the company and was not in the interest of shareholders. Three years later, Yahoo had a market capitalization of US$22.24 billion. In early 2012, Yahoo announced a cut of 2000 jobs or about 14% of its 14,100 works. This is the second time of large layoffs when Yahoo made the decision to save their operation expenses. The last major acquisition was a US$1.1 billion of blogging site Tumblr. The announcement reportedly signifies a changing trend in the technology industry, as large corporations like Yahoo, Facebook, Baidu and Google acquire start-up internet companies that generate low amounts of revenue as a way in which to connect with sizeable, fast-growing online communities. After this successful acquisition, Yahoo announced the acquisition of social web browser concern Rockmelt again in August, 2013. With this purchase, the RockMelt team will be the part of Yahoo team.

Yahoo was an early success due to a combination of factors such as timing, hard work, and a good understanding of Web surfer’s tastes and needs.. In early 1995, Net mania was just flowering. It was a great time to be a young entrepreneur with an Internet idea. Dave Faldo and Jerry Yang saw a consumer need for classifying and differentiating web sights. Resting the urge to automate this process, Yahoo’s founders instead chose to manually perform this search, reviewing and classifying roughly 1000 sights a day. This approach combined with their decision to offer a free service lead to early success.
