Chick? Rack?
Wow. Pretty low brow. I wouldn't want anyone saying that about my daughter.

star CEO's are just like star NFL coaches. Their magic works
in one place but not necessarily in the next. And not in any one place for too long. Unless she is able to "buy the groceries" that she is expected to cook*, it will fail IMO *Bill Parcells reference VF

She seems like a good choice for them, hopefully she can help to turn them around as competition is good and I think a strong Yahoo will make a strong Google.
Yahoo, I only use it for Fantasy Sports...that is it these days as it is inadequte in nearly every other way. Otherwise, it is just cumbersome, slow, not user friendly etc. Yahoo is flawed though in that they seem to lack focus. they try to bring the whole internet to you, but they seem to trip over themselves doing so. Isn't this what AOL failed at, essentially tailoring a tool for the less savy users of the internet while anybody who knew how to use a search function and the address bar took to netscape, then google? They need to really determine who they expect their users to be, then trim the fat and K I S S to that end. Google has the best search function, my lay persons perspective, but they have tripped and fallen a few times as well, but have some big homeruns. Google Maps is great, much better than Mapquest or other companies that used to be prolific. Google Groups, Google Social Networking, swing and miss IMO. Luckily, they have had a few core functions that they are the best at so they can afford to swing and miss. If she can establish a few core functions that Yahoo is the best at, or at least very very competitive at, then I think she will be successful. . A swing and miss is acceptable as it shows they are trying, but when they just are hacking away and not making contact, it is time to get back to basics a bit. It seems like she has the chops and the accumen to do this. Sure, she is cute, but most successful women are attractive, actually a high percentage successful people are attractive, so this is not a suprise to me. People might try to underestimate her, but I would think it would be at their peril and not hers. Just my very lay person opinion. EDIT: As an exercise, go to both of these sites, what are your thoughts? https://www.google.com/ http://www.yahoo.com/ You can access nearly the same information on both of them, but one is a firehose and the other is not. One looks like a cluttered desk top where the other has thing neatly put away. One seems cogent and thoughtful while the other seems like it took little planning and little to no discerning. Time to clean house and it should start with the user interface, because it is just cluttered and aweful. Last edited by rugbysecondrow; 07-19-2012 at 06:48 AM.

I hope she can. If she can inspire the right people at the company, they've still got a lot of talented people working for them. A strong direction and the right ideas is all they need to leverage their huge user base.
As the Wikipedia entry states, Yahoo Mail is still the #2 webmail service in the world, and #1 in the US. Add the partnership with Nokia's growing ovi/nokia mail service and you've still got steady growth in terms of users. User base is still a very big part of the internet game (think Facebook.)

Once I read that she was in charge of Google Local/Maps/Places I said forget about it.
But saying that, the move might be a good for her career. Who knows what her situation was at Google and if nothing else, she will learn quite a bit at Yahoo. That could serve her well post Yahoo. Last edited by zap; 07-19-2012 at 08:46 AM.
