Back in the day, Internet Evolution had an exclusive opportunity to sit down with Marissa and talk to her about social networking, search, Google Twitter, and... well, not so much Yahoo. After all, this was back in 2009.
Nevertheless, for in-depth insight into Mayer's professional passion, personal style, and interesting way of pronouncing "tools" as a two-syllable word, these videos are an unbeatable resource.
Now that she's moved on, we would naturally love to catch up with Marissa about her strategy for Yahoo. The invitation is open. Whenever she has a moment.
It's time to quit focusing on Marissa Mayer's sex and pregnancy and treat her as we would any other CEO by claiming her career at Yahoo is already a complete failure.
@Paul, I remember the initial video segment from back in the day. I hope she finds time to drop by IE again soon. Her contributions are always welcome here.
IE's Radio Program has been a huge success. So many top industry maverns have grace the radio 'hot seat'. I was priviledge to be part of that particular program and was very impress with what she has to say on the various issues she was asked about. I can say Yahoo will be her biggest challenge as of yet but that she was willing to accept the offer, considering all that yahoo has went through over the years is a testament that she feels confident and capable that she can turn things around. I wish her all the very best and hope IE radio will continue to bring great industry minds to the air waves.
Thanks, Kim, for posting IE videos that show Marissa Mayer "in action" prior to her move to Yahoo! Kudos to IE for giving us access to up and coming people that are today, and in the future, greatly impacting the future of the Web!

Congrats to the best-selling author who persuaded Facebook to allow him to register an account as Salman, rather than under his "real" but never used name, Ahmed Rushdie.
Based on reactions in Nicole's Newsfeed, everyone hates this version of Facebook. This should matter to Facebook now that there's a real competitor on the scene named Google+.
Facebook's "Improved Friends Lists" are rolling out, but they're very different from Google+ Circles. The latter are like private labels; you're the only one who sees them. The former are like rooms you can invite visitors to, where they see you and each other. Google's approach is better.
Google's replacement of CEO Schmidt by founder Page has a lot of Valley types agog with expectations of a renewed 'startup' mindset. But the Google of today can't be a startup, and it may well be that chasing the next Internet fad is the wrong approach for the company.
