#2Wow. I am speechless. There is probably no better person on earth to light a user- and product-focused fire under Yahoo. But the risk, the risk for her is just stunning. Huge props to her for making the leap from what must be a very comfortable Google and for the board for finding a stunning candidate to lead the revival of Yahoo.
(Edit: my definition of risk is lost time and missed opportunity. She's not going to suffer in compensation or reputation.)

#3Clearly she's done good things at Google, but I think the chances of her being able to right what's wrong at Yahoo! are very low. Best of luck to her.

#4It will be interesting to see what happens at Yahoo now that someone who actually knows what they're doing is at the helm.

I mentioned this out loud at the office and that was the exact same reaction.

#8I wonder if this means Bing is out and we'll see a new partnership with Google in the coming months. If so, it's a total ninja takeover :)

I'm sorry but I find it so hilarious. I worked at Yahoo and Google both. I know both their cultures (and especially the culture at Yahoo after all the good engineers left). IMHO, she is status quo - no different than the horrible string of CEOs being hired by Yahoo. In fact, I will put a stake in the ground that she will not move the needle further than what Scott/Bartz did.
I just can't get over how hilarious this situation is.
