BRotD - Entry 0246 Yahoo Finance App Update

Best Reading of the Day

Wow.  Any in-place update of a popular customer facing app like Yahoo Finance is a major undertaken and not to be taken lightly.  This little article is a fun read, and pretty quick.

Take a look:

Here is a snippet from the piece:

The product team at Yahoo Finance had a hard time sleeping for the whole week leading up to the big redesign in July.

It's not because they weren't confident, says Michael La Guardia, the head of product for both Yahoo Finance and Sports, but because of the drastic changes he was about to bring to one of Yahoo's most popular products ever.

"We knew what we were doing was the right thing," La Guardia told Business Insider.

Happy Reading,

J.W. Gant
