Boy, have I got a soap opera for you. It’s a saga of tech nerdery and an old-school company trying to reinvent itself.
The story starts with Kara Swisher, of All Things D, who has gone gaga over the hiring of Marissa Mayer as Yahoo’s CEO. In the 37 days since the announcement (July 16, 2012) she has personally written 32 articles.
Each one with a title full of pizzazz and humorous photos (of mostly cats). The content is all serious and interesting to read as Marissa seems to be hitting all the right notes. But, the way Kara is playing it out is just too much fun.
Take a look at the titles below and you will see what I mean:
This Week in MarissYa: iPhones for All, Flickr Love and Management Musical Chairs
With Nearly 10 Percent Drop in Week After Alibaba Cash Switch, Yahoo Shareholders in “Marissery”
Mayer Will Extend Free Food to NYC Too, While “What Is Yahoo?” Question Is Hereby Banish’d
“Yes, Keep Moving”: Marissa Mayer’s First Memo to Yahoos (Natch!)
How about a few hash tags for the drama:
