It has been a busy month since Shashi Seth joined Yahoo! as our new Senior Vice President of Yahoo! Search Products. Shashi brings with him a wealth of experience from  Google, eBay, Cooliris, and AOL. As the head of Search, Shashi has emphasized his commitment to Yahoo!’s stake in the search market. In this video, he talks about his first month at Yahoo! and clarifies what he sees as some of the most important aspects of the agreement with Microsoft.

With the Microsoft search alliance, “there is a great opportunity for us to change the game in search by focusing on the consumer experience and bringing things to the front end of search like real time information, shortcuts, vertical intent, query analysis, and suggestions,” Shashi says. “The deal could bring a lot of great things for us especially in focusing on the consumer experience.”
