Continued innovation is key to the success of most companies, and Yahoo is no different. The Internet giant recently opened an “idea incubator” called “Brickhouse” in the trendy South Park area of San Francisco. Select Yahoo employees will take turns working out of the office - intended to evoke the vibe of a start-up company - to nurture ideas into viable products or services. In this inaugural Inside Silicon Valley podcast, the Mercury News sat down with Bradley Horowitz, Yahoo’s vice president of advanced development, at the Brickhouse open house to discuss the incubator concept and how it will work.

I think Bradley did an excellent job of sharing Yahoo’s vision for Brickhouse. I guess it will be a similar outlook as Google Labs in to Google. I think though that the 4-6 week timeframe that he talks about is a little short. Anyways, great interview!

[…] That would be awesome! I think we need another big player in the web app/web property space. Microsoft and Live certainly seem to be flailing there. With stuff like Flickr, the YUI Library, Flex based maps, newish Yahoo Search Marketing and Brickhouse Yahoo is well poised to do it. Seems like it might be about putting it all together and running hard. […]

[…] Yahoo!’s Brickhouse is not a new idea but the way that they’re doing it is great. I’d like to create a Brickhouse of my own (eh-ehm). You have to “go where the talent is” is not a new notion but it is one where if you actually do it… golden. Inside Yahoo’s Brickhouse with Bradley Horowitz. […]

[…] Our Executive Speaker this past week was Bradley Horowitz, who gets an A in my book simply for the fact that he’s the man responsible for bringing Flickr to Yahoo! Couple that with his amazing role at Yahoo! and all of the other cool things he’s done, and he’s definitely someone to look up to! He was a great choice to start off our Speaker Series and I’d love to be able to work in his Advanced Development team. It’s the perfect combination of tech, web, entrepreneurship, and innovation. It’s exactly what I love about Yahoo! and fits everything that I’d like my future career to involve. Hopefully I’ll be able to visit Brickhouse before I leave! […]
