Yea, I wanted to work up some righteous indignation, but it was really, really hard.
Bread? Ptch? EvntLive? WTF?
It almost makes me want to move back to the day were all companies reflexively and unthinkingly just had to have three letter acronyms for names, 'cause that’s just what it took to be a real company.
Almost.
Marissa Mayer is the Big Bob Nardelli of Silicon Valley: incompetent, but because of the resume, able to find a CEO job almost anywhere where the board doesn’t give a fuck.
A quick bio from the fond farewall Jalopnik gave him:
[As CEO of Home Depot, he] lost a huge amount of market share, the stock dropped, [he] pissed
customers and investors off, and so seriously fucked up Home Depot that they fired [him] and were willing to pay [him] $210 million to go away. …
[Nardelli] then landed at Chrysler and, while Chrysler was already about as
stable and forward-thinking as late-era Blackberry when [he] arrived, the
notion that [he] made it any better is just utter nonsense.
It may not be at the centre of things, but at least they haven’t killed Flickr.
(yet)

Shhh you’ll remind them it exists therefor they must kill it.
