Jerry Yang

Yahoo has mentioned that users can save their chat history on their computer till November end, after which that limited access will also be withdrawn.

Yang, Alibaba founder and executive chairman Jack Ma and SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son all sit on the board of Alibaba.

Filo was named to the board along with Charles Schwab and H. Lee Scott, former president and chief executive at Walmart.

Alibaba invested $215 million while the remainder of the funding came from Tango's prior investors, which include Access Industries, Draper Fisher Jurvetson and Jerry Yang, a co-founder of Yahoo Inc, Tango said.

The deal announced Monday is Mayer's boldest move since she left Google 10 months ago to lead Yahoo's latest comeback attempt. It marks Yahoo's most expensive acquisition since it bought online search engine Overture a decade ago for $1.3 billion.

Yang, 44, resigned from Yahoo's board last year when he also stepped down from the boards of Alibaba Group Holding and Yahoo! Japan.

Lenovo Group said Yahoo! co-founder Jerry Yang is to join its board as an observer, as the world's No. 2 maker of PCs expands its mobile business to tap global demand for smartphones and tablets.

Yahoo Inc chief executive Marissa Mayer said the company's search partnership with Microsoft Corp was not delivering the market share gains or the revenue boost that it should.

Here are some key developments involving Yahoo Inc. and its performance:

Yahoo Inc. co-founder Jerry Yang joins a crusade to oust Chairman Roy Bostock amid the upheaval triggered by the recent firing of CEO Carol Bartz.

Yahoo's previous turnaround attempts have flopped under three different leaders with dramatically different backgrounds - former movie mogul Terry Semel, beloved Yahoo co-founder Jerry Yang and profanity-spewing Silicon Valley veteran Carol Bartz.

Yahoo co-founder Jerry Yang is leaving the struggling Internet company, as it tries to revive its revenue growth and win over disgruntled shareholders under a new leader.

The company's revenues declined by 13 per cent from the year-ago period to $1.32 billion during Q4 2011.

Jerry Yang built Yahoo! into an online colossus but the co-founder of the Internet pioneer has become a lightning rod for investor criticism of the recent management of the company.

Yang resigned on Tuesday from the Yahoo! board of directors and all of his other positions at the company he founded nearly 17 years ago, saying the time has come for him to "pursue other interests."
