  But then how could they justify hiring an inexperienced ex-google woman? (nothing wrong with being a woman, but she tried to make a celebrity out of herself, look at her cover magazine photoshoot).

    "... not that there's anything wrong with that" Is another fine product of the nineties. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Outing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Outing Marissa Meyer was certainly not the old hand CEO type that had already run Yahoo into the ditch but hardly inexperienced. She oversaw the layout of Google's well-known, unadorned search homepage. She was also on the three-person team responsible for Google AdWords, which is an advertising platform that allows businesses to show their product to relevant potential customers based on their search terms. AdWords helped deliver 96% of the company's revenue in the first quarter of 2011. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marissa_Mayer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marissa_Mayer
