Yahoo appointed Mayer CEO, and a lot of people googled up her name. Some of them were lead to a 2010 blog post of mine on Mayer. And this blog got a spike in traffic.
Mayer As Chief Yahoo: Surprising And Exciting

This is surprising and exciting. I guess Yahoo does not have to pretend it is a media company and it can now go back to being a technology company. Yahoo still has a lot of visitors that come back month after month. At some level it never really went away.
It can play for a strong number two position in some key areas. And with its resources it should be able to attract the talent to innovate.
