http://allthingsd.com/20120729/in-w...afternoon-all-hands-new-work-spaces-fab-swag/ One must admit, she knows her wog: Yahoo’s new CEO Marissa Mayer’s second week is showing even more signs of what the company will be like under her regime.In short: It will be just like Google, from whence she came.Praise be: Yahoogle lives!Wasting little time, Mayer has added a weekly Friday afternoon all-hands meeting, which kicked off this past week at the company’s Sunnyvale HQ.Just like it has been done at the search giant for eons.And, at the 4:30 pm PT confab, she announced — to the shock of some bean counters at Yahoo, worried about the cost, but to the thrill of hungry engineers — that henceforth the food in Yahoo’s URLs Cafe — but only in Silicon Valley for now — will be free.Just like it has been done at Google for eons....
The future of Yahoo is still up in the air, but the changes Mayer has already started to make with the company show signs of life. If she can create a fun, creative and rewarding place for tech talent to work, there may yet be hope for Yahoo. I have always liked the yahoo homepage format much better than Google's bare bones approach. Yahoo's email still outshines gmail IMO. This pariah crap doesn't just bring positive change. Hopefully instead of a wide pool of talentless wogs, they get the more pioneering white folks. :D
