In this episode, we’re bringing you another great interview, this time with Bradley Horowitz from Yahoo – who we spoke to a few months ago. Bradley Horowitz is head of technology development at Yahoo, and - as such - he is perfectly placed to talk about Yahoo’s most exciting developments (such as brickhouse, pipes, and its hack days).
First up, Horowitz discusses Yahoo’s Pipes application, which enables you to quickly and easily create your own web app by piping content from elsewhere.
Horowitz then goes on to talk about Brickhouse. Brickhouse is Yahoo’s internal incubator program, which has been set up to foster new business ideas, whilst holding onto the talented people currently working at the company. In a hugely competitive market, holding onto your best people is something that the big tech players are becoming increasingly concerned about, and this is one way that Yahoo plans to stem the brain drain.
