Yeah, but they made a great choice this time.

Good, their news has been looking kind of partisany lately. Maybe this will fix it.

Looks a bit different this time.

Generation_D: Looks a bit different this time.

Yes, but her laugh will make you barf.

Ha, that's awesome. I bet when she orgasms she sounds like goofy

I'll give it about 6 months before Google starts suing claiming that Yahoo is copying their ideas.

Bears repeating.

Too bad about the laugh.

"A lot of people did not believe that Yahoo could get someone of the caliber of a Marissa Mayer to become the CEO at this stage,"



/ok, it's quite a stretch

consider this: I'll give it about 6 months before Google starts suing claiming that Yahoo is copying their ideas.

They haven't sued Microsoft so I doubt they will sue Yahoo.

/finally they've hired a real leader

She worked on creating the Google search engine and the company's widely-recognised home page.

Don't get me wrong, Google's overly simplified home page is the biggest reason I use it, it's pure genius, but is creating a blank white page with one lone search box something to brag about on a resume?

I'd split her stock

Google buys Yahoo in 3...2...1...

Seriously, why does Yahoo exist, really? Nobody goes to Yahoo on purpose.

"This is about how long I'm going to last. It is also the size of Scott Thomas's penis."

Yahoo gives Goo Girl head job

So new redesigned homepage..what really can yahoo do? No ad revenue and their search isn't to great..How can they improve

CEOs rarely actually do anything anyway, she might as well be hot.

Yes. It's iconic, and it changed a lot of attitudes about what good web design is. As simple as it sounds, it was actually a revolutionary idea at the time.

Fear the Clam: Generation_D: Looks a bit different this time.

uh... was she developmentally different?

She reminds me of a young Meg Whitman.

Everybody needs a junk email account, might as well use your old Yahoo account from six years ago.

Yeah. Interesting choice but given that she's a techie and doesn't appear to have much experience on the business side of things, I bet that she might fail even worse than the last few CEOs. Of course, I might be completely wrong since the last few CEOs were all business people.

Some love it, I hate it. I prefer Yahoo because it's easier for me to see the news and sports stuff. Yes, I really am that lazy.

gingerjet: They haven't sued Microsoft so I doubt they will sue Yahoo.

Suing Microsoft, even if they engaged in Watergate style industrial espionage, would risk associating Google Search with Bing, and it's not worth their reputation to be associate with Bing.

Harry_Seldon: She reminds me of a young Meg Whitman.

At least you didn't say Meg Griffen.

Fair enough, but in the long run Google's design change seemed to work well. Overall it makes sense if someone's not a fan, but I'll give her credit that she's backed some risky ideas and won.

Hopefully she's a decent pick. She'll probably end up getting taken down with the sinking ship, but I hope she suceeds.

From the twitters: "Marissa Mayer joining Yahoo? Bravo. It's great seeing accomplished people take leadership positions with non-profits."

LULZ

Is the Yahoo board still trying to locate Jerry Yang so they can have a few 'words' with him about not selling the company to Microsoft, or is Yang already sleeping with the fishes?

Even a less cluttered home page would be better than what they have now. Something like this, maybe?...



/still looks too much like Bing meets Windows 8 to me though

Looks like someone doesn't remember the 'web portals' idea. It was a walled-garden of awesome clutter.

It wasn't so much the simple design as it was the speed. Google was the first 'fast' webpage.
Dial-up was still heavily in use, and those with DSL/cable were fighting with neighbors over speed. Google was always fast. Simplicity just added to it.

Also a search engine is more than a box on a web form. I'm sure she worked on those computers without screens with blinky lights & whirring fans in the big white room where the keep the internet.

The thing with Google was the speed that it brought back results and the quality. It was mind-blowingly better.

I wonder if she does anal?

Fear the Clam: Generation_D: Looks a bit different this time.

Yes, but her laugh will make you barf.

That was a major buzz kill ...

realmolo: Google buys Yahoo in 3...2...1...

Japan and other large parts of Asia, at least. There are a LOT of people here, and they all use Yahoo. Google barely has a presence here, at the moment.

Not China - go Baidu or go home. Of course, Google's relatively small presence here has something to do with that whole "not caving in to the Chinese government's censorship demands" than anything else.

/sometimes my searches redirect to google.com.hk, sometimes they redirect to...nothing

Wow, there's no chance that she was hired to broker the sale of Yahoo to Google, is there?

/Of course there is.

God I remember the logicals you could use to build HotBot searches. I know google has similar ones but still (pamela AND Anderson) AND (naked OR boobs)

Not always.

As has been pointed out, someone else already did and now there's dividends on the way.

I'd be OK with that. I'm a geek, and we tolerate women who aren't perfect.

..and then you click the first link, which ends "- Yahoo!" which gives them the exact same traffic as if you had gone to their entertainment page directly from Facebook. Sure, it's helping Google along the way, but it's not actually taking any hits away from Yahoo.

Wait a second, on top of that there's a chance of the user going to Yahoo to do the search rather than Google, so making you go out of your way and through a search engine can only INCREASE their traffic.
