OT: let's get current with what's next for Yahoo post Marissa Mayer?
 
I know we can all be jokey about her looks, but what is the chance she can turn it around?

I think she'll turn it around in time. Question will be how far can she bring it up. I don't think Yahoo will ever reach its former glory.

Yahoo is behind the times, even further behind than Microsoft.

i don't know but it will be fun to watch. maybe she can convince them to remove some of the ads or at least put them in better places.

The only thing i can say is that the chick is pretty hot. Hope her temper is like her face, but to be in those high position probably the chick is really dangerous.

My guess is you probably wouldn't call her a chick to her face...

It's not going to be easy.

I don't think anyone can fix Yahoo, because no one can really decide what Yahoo is.

Its this mish-mash of odd businesses, none of them are particularly compelling.

Is it a media company? A tech company? An advertising company?

She was in my class at Stanford...I give her 6 months before she gets fed up

Or perhaps I'm just bitter

Yahoo has nothing to turn around. They're going in the direction that is inevitable for them. Down down down...

She is smart as heck and a hard worker but the Yahoo board can't figure out what kind of company they want to be like others said. I think it is a ship that will continue to founder.

eddief 07-18-2012 08:30 PM

Daniel Loeb is hedge fund manager who is top shareholder
 
He has a ton o buck invested and does not seem like the idiots who used to be on the board....and supposedly he found Marissa. Now the board has 4 new members. So maybe the time is now or never. $3B in the bank, 700M users per month. Gotta be some revenue there somewhere.
