Hackers have proved to be a good source of ideas and technologies for companies in time, and Yahoo seams to be one of them.
An executive of the company said that Yahoo plans to give money to hackers that will come with proposals, ideas and innovative technologies.
The clear example that this can be successfully done is a social network in Indonesia, which was purchased by Yahoo in May of this year. The Koprol network was developed by hackers last year that proved their skills and technologies during the Yahoo Hack Day Event.
Based on the good results they got during this event, Hack Day was then extended in many regions of the world like London, Brazil of Taiwan. ” Hack Day provided us with a lot of ideas that helped the company” said the Yahoo Spokesman.
