A new app from Marissa Mayer, former Yahoo CEO, aims to make it easy for users to create and share photos of trips, parties, or hangouts with friends. However, its (lack of) design, looking like something from the early 2010s, is very clunky-looking and not at all like the apps we’re used to today.

Yahoo is testing a new creator program that will allow certain writers to publish and monetize stories under the Yahoo News brand. The draw to creators is the chance to expand their audience bases while earning ad and affiliate revenue. 21 creators have been invited to join the platform’s beta test. Yahoo plans to expand its creator network into the hundreds over the next couple of months.

Yahoo operates as part of a broader family of brands, which includes well-known platforms like Yahoo and AOL, along with its digital advertising service, Yahoo Advertising. This interconnected ecosystem allows Yahoo to provide a range of services and content to its users. When users engage with Yahoo's sites and applications, the company employs cookies and similar technologies. These tools enable the storage and retrieval of information from users' devices, facilitating various functions. Cookies are essential for delivering services, authenticating users, enhancing security, and preventing spam and abuse. Additionally, they help measure user engagement with the platforms.
