Although some have argued that to succeed, new Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer must learn how to deal with a company whose main focus is online media, not search, that hasn’t stopped Mayer from taking to Twitter to express good things about Yahoo search.
On her first day as CEO of Yahoo, Mayer tweeted that she’s a big fan of the big “Download” button the Yahoo puts at the top of search results when you search for a program:
Love that on a Yahoo search for Skype you get a big “Download” button #exactlywhatyouwanthttp://t.co/stGJu9lA
Is this #ExactlyWhatYouWant?
As the Mayer story goes, she came up as Google’s first female engineer, and by all accounts she had a big part in the development of the company as a search behemoth. Now, barely a day after leaving Google, she’s already enamored with this little Yahoo search function.
But let’s not go too deep into a tweet, except to say that it’s good that Mayer is already publicly getting behind her new company. It appears that they did butter her up a bit with some Yahoo baby goodies, as yesterday we learned that Mayer is also seven months pregnant.
