This is adorably cute, but Yahoo! won't be a great place to work until they begin creating great products again.

  "Cute" it may be, but if new leadership inspires enough people to step up, want to do something great, and their path for bringing those ideas to fruition are cleared, then Yahoo can succeed. That said, the biggest gripe I've read about Yahoo is the insane amount of middle management. If anyone (regardless of position -- an intern, an engineer, an architect) has an idea, I would hope there is a path for that idea to be evaluated and, if show potential, is allowed to come to fruition.

  I think it works both ways -- neither will Yahoo create great products until they become a great place to work, again. This is why I think Mayer was a great choice. If you're at Yahoo and disillusioned, or considering an offer and on the fence...you have to latch on to something representing change. Marissa wasn't the only possible choice, but she was at least as good as any other imaginable choices. Now I'm making her sound like Obama. I'm much more comfortable with that conflation than the Steve Jobs one though. Oh, and sorry about the motherhood pun. I didn't even notice it til the reread.
