Marissa Mayer gets mixed reviews from Wall Street and Old Media

Stockholders of Yahoo should love Marissa Mayer since the stock is up 13% over the past year.

Employees of Yahoo seem to love both her focused and demanding style at the same time.

Wall Street is giving her mixed reviews due to the recent Q2 earning release and lack of confidence in revenue guidance going forward. Yes, profits are up, yet sales are flat and are drifting lower.

The honeymoon is now over. Can Marissa Mayer save the day?

Tumblr cashes out with $1.1 billion from Yahoo!

After being rejected by Facebook seven years to buy its social network for $1 billion, Yahoo! patiently waited out it's next opportunity. Most patiently.

The next opportunity is called: Tumblr. Price: $1 billion, plus!

Reaction from the blog-sphere? It blew up with disappointment. WordPress registrations have soared. Yahoo! has promised not to "screw this up."

Think Billion$ wishes Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer and her staff the best of luck with Tumblr.

Thank you Marissa Mayer!

Thank you for what??? .... you dare blog!


Well where do we begin?


Thank you for NOT being Scott Thompson!


Thank you for NOT being Jerry Yang!


Thank you for NOT being several other complete bozo's that have been run in and out of the Yahoo! sand box executive suite over the past! ten! years!


Basically, we are saying: Thank you Yahoo! for NOT making a Yahoo!-like decision!
