Yahoo needs to go from 60 to 70 apps to about a dozen, Mayer said—not all of them even branded as Yahoo. (Yahoo has 20 official iPhone apps, for example.)
The company has acquired three small, mobile-focused startups for their teams in recent months—Stamped, OnTheAir, and, today, Propeld.
So Mayer is sending a very clear signal that rather than adding to its current portfolio of apps, those mobile engineers and designers will be working on a core set of Yahoo apps focused on what she says are Yahoo users' "daily habits"—like checking news, sports scores, stock quotes, and email.
