Marissa is nearing her 1 year anniversary as Yahoo CEO and it seems that she is turning the company around.

  Props to her, but to be fair, it's not hard to say "Hey look, a wall!" and go the other direction.

    It's a lot harder than she makes it look.

      Yeah, you're right, it might be easy to turn around a startup for example, but she's piloting the Titanic with a hull made of mesh. It's impressive.

  The stock price is up, I'll give you that, but in terms of actual user/profit/revenue growth what are the numbers to suggest that she is turning the company around? Flashy product acquisitions and page redesigns a turnaround o not make. I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just interested in seeing the hard numbers.

    I'm thinking she's not as concerned about that yet. Her first step seems to be making Yahoo and it's brands "cool" again.

      Being cool is not a business model.
