Marissa Mayer worked for Google for many years. She still worked at Google until the announcement that she will take over as the new CEO of Yahoo! Yahoo cofounder David Filo – who famously still works at Yahoo, in a cubicle, says: Marissa is a well-known, visionary leader in user experience and product design and one of Silicon Valley’s most exciting strategists in technology development. I look forward to working with her to enhance Yahoo's product offerings for our over 700 million unique monthly visitors.

No

I can't say "yes" based on trust issues. The company I used to work for had an executive from a competing company take over as head of our's. It felt more like sabatoge when he quit and got a big seperation check and nothing improved. Instead the company filed chapter thirteen.

Yes

I don't think she can do worse! Most people hate change and I must admit that I sometimes fall into that catagory too! But if it's to be improved on, "Well...let's just see what happens"!......

Yes

I don't know, but let me tell you what she can take a stab at fixing...

When you click on a Yahoo News video, it loads the page, the ad plays fine, instantly... crisp, clear, perfect graphics and (unnecessarily loud) sound, and then once you've sat through it and the screen goes dark like it's trying to go to your video, you wait... and wait... and wait... sometimes, quite often for me, it doesn't load at all. Other times, the wait is just so maddening that I close the window altogether and say, "Screw it."

Fix it, lady. No more of me even clicking on your featured vids till you make good on the actual content, and not just take my 30 seconds and your advertiser's nickel.

Couldn't do any worse... Yahoo should stop losing to Google in the morning and trying to be like Google in the afternoon, and embrace the fact that they are a media company - not a technology company. In my opinion, Ross Levinsohn should have been the guy
