Yahoo has a new CEO

A giant web is under new management as of now. The reports that Yahoo has finally decided on the new commander in chief. Chosen for the role of leading a company in crisis, Scott Thompson responded as previously CEO of PayPal, that electronic payments system that everyone uses (or almost everyone) in our little world tech.


It's been four long months since Carol Bartz, the outspoken leader of the Internet company, left his position after being fired by phone. At the time she sent an email to all Yahoo employees show their indignation. Until a message without profanity, I might add.

"Scott brings a proven track record Yahoo to build a solid foundation of existing properties and resources to rekindle innovation and lead to growth, precisely the formula that we need at Yahoo."

Behind the corporate language we have confirmation that Yahoo Thompson perform as expected or better than that obtained when commanded PayPal

At the payment service owned by auction giant eBay, Thompson managed to double the base of active users during the nearly three years that he was ahead. From 50 million to 104 million monthly users. And most importantly, spread over 190 countries worldwide.

For a long time there was speculation that AOL somehow, would acquire the operations of Yahoo on the Internet. At least for now the dream of Tim Armstrong, CEO of the company that still offers dial-up Internet service in the United States, has been postponed.
