Assuming this is the real Marissa Mayer, CEO of Yahoo! (which I doubt), I am almost forced to laugh at the typical corporate jargon imbued in this post.

Some of my favorite keywords: renaissance, terrific, dedicated, tremendous, excited, growth, amazing, blessed, most extraordinary, proudest, extremely energized, the future looks extremely bright, etc.

I'm kind of tired of these types of messages. Please, world: stop.

Just to keep this thought from spreading, Yahoo reblogged it as well, so I'm pretty confident this is the real deal. [1]http://yahoo.tumblr.com/

This is not tech news. Happy for her. I really am. But please, I come here to learn what people are saying about monads, not gonads!

Trying to think of the last time, if ever, a Fortune 500 CEO has been pregnant...a quick Google search reminds me that she was pregnant when selected as Yahoo's CEO. Big congrats to her

She's a CEO of a major tech company. Pregnancy (and parenthood, though ehs's already a parent) can have a profound impact on someone's life. A CEO has a profound impact on their company. I can't see how this is not tech news.

Sounds like she is better at making babies than polishing a turd.

Wonder what women are feeling inside Yahoo when they see their CEO going to work right up until they go into the delivery room, then back to work straight away...do they feel under similar pressure if they are giving birth? It feels distinctly American for a woman to be under such pressure to get back to the workforce asap...
