After joining the company as chief, Marissa has turned the company with a team of 50 to 500 mobile developers, who successfully launched a number of mobile applications such as Weather, Sports and few games too. Now, the company has planned to build its own platform for developing mobile applications better.

At the conference, Mayer said,
“If we think we can help developers make apps better, everyone wins.”
Yahoo has acquired an analytics startup name Flurry in last July for almost $300 million and that made the Yahoo to enter into the world of mobile applications. Flurry’s software provides various information regarding the activities that user were performing with their application and other information about those applications to the developers. Moreover, Flurry is collecting data over 630,000 mobile applications and also 1.6 million global mobile devices.
The recent enhancement in Flurry allows the developers to check for various insights of their applications in terms of its performance, user demographics, and device. Flurry gives a brief view for the developers to develop a better application and also gives more insights with analytics to lead more traffic and ultimately, revenue.
