Marissa Mayer gets more media coverage than any CEO on the planet now that Steve Jobs is gone. I don't understand why. She's been CEO of Yahoo! for 18 months, and I've been compelled to visit the site exactly zero times in her tenure.

The Whole Explanation: She's a woman and the CEO of a major website; which isn't to say that she doesn't deserve more attention given the smaller number of female CEOs/women in tech.

    Again, so what? Carly Fiorina is a woman CEO of a significant corporation, and her tenure has been a disaster. Incidentally, the CFO of Lehman's at the time of the crash was a woman too, yet it's Dick Fuld who gets mentioned...

      When Fiorina was the CEO of a significant corporation, HP, she got a lot of ink, too. Of course, HP itself, got a lot of ink before, during and immediately after her tenure there.

        Yeah. Red ink.
