Google's Marissa Mayer Tapped as Yahoo's Chief

http://j.mp/NzlM9p  (Dealbook)

   "Marissa Mayer, one of the top executives at Google, will be the next
    C.E.O. of Yahoo, making her one of the most prominent women in Silicon
    Valley and corporate America.  The appointment of Ms. Mayer, who was
    employee No. 20 at Google and was one of the few public faces of the
    company, is considered a surprising coup for Yahoo, which has
    struggled in recent years to attract top flight talent in its battle
    with competitors like Google and Facebook."

Egads.  Though, in all honesty, something along these lines could be
viewed as not being entirely unexpected given recent organizational
changes at G.
