She is so beautiful and intelligent!!!

[@kevenhenley3424]

I'm totally not a shill bot but why hate on this woman. she's very successful ...period.

[@katherinepeterson-roberts]

Successful at ruining companies and leaving users’ confidential information in jeopardy. She failed miserably in a key leadership role and ran Yahoo! to the ground, while dwindling money and squandering funds left and right. She’s better at product management jobs; certainly not senior executive roles. It’s her PR team that was successful in boosting her image in the press and media.

[@pumas19rdz18]

i love marissa 4ever🤗🤗🤗

[@ravindertalwar553]

CONGRATULATIONS 👏 AND LOTS OF LOVE ❤️ FROM RAVINDER TALWAR JALANDHAR CITY PUNJAB INDIA

[@jackburton1351]

Yahoo is still around?

[@dogdick7486]

boy, I thought for once the comments on s great video like this would actually be some what acceptable. wow, internet land is a scary place of scary people..

[@vitaliyfursov2011]

at 52:00 what's up with her laugh?

[@flybekvc]

22:59 too... Someone should cut and glue all those laughs into a video :-)

[@annaberger1801]

someone already had the idea long time ago, there are plenty those videos

[@orasis]

She was only about 35 when she became the CEO of a company she did not was not a founder or co-founder of. That's what did her and Yahoo in. Book-smarts only get you so far... It's hard to compete with the wisdom of people who have seen much more sunrises and sunsets than you have.

[@nursultannazarov8379]

Your grammar says you are average. Average can't judge anyone.

[@gonzogil123]

Would it be possible for the honorable lady to say "Not be evil" to the question the gentleman sitting next to her just delivered to her about the most exciting thing?

[@bfoz]

Like a doctor's clinic?

[@gonzogil123]

14:03min This is the second interview that I have seen her in (I am a political-economist) saying "change the world" like google "changed the world" not the internet but "Google" managed to changed the world. Clearly, this will not be discernable in the politicians whose careers they finance, or, the types of macro-economic policies they push for. So, how for her did Google manage to change the world. It in interesting, because it is a central point for her. It is the point of the highest significance, but I have yet to see her specify this new "i-do-not-know-where-I-am" world.

[@globaldominance3796]

Call me crazy but how do you build a compiler? I thought compilers "processed" the computer language that you're working with and either performed the functions that the computer language directs or shows an error(s) with the written instructions..Either i'm an idiot or maybe i should run yahoo... Someone explain how you build a compiler.. please

[@Xxxsclulu]

take a compiler class, usually the class project is building a compiler

[@Xxxsclulu]

yes it does that is why its one of the higher level courses

[@nursultannazarov8379]

No. Compiler is built by God. And you can't run even 0.000001% of Yahoo.

[@Joker200084]

i think she intimidated him...he changed subjects fast when she started talking about writing operating systems and compilers....

[@tickytocky5448]

I picked up on that to. You can tell that's how a lot of people react when they simply don't understand something.

[@fadlimuhammad7314]

Next 4 engine we need 2021 action marissa follow sequence..page 1/2/3/4=in out IOT Linkedin roof to pays all engines..

[@vitaliyfursov2011]

53:26 Marissa can be replaced by AI ...

[@jedijedi-te4fe]

Marissa Mayer's has a such of awkward personality and usually geniuses are.

[@fadlimuhammad7314]

Why you tell others marissa 😊

[@sirgerbilmacintosh9101]

I like her. From reading the comments, i'm like the only one, and i'm a gerbil.

[@GiftHorse123]

Who cares about why she went to Stanford? Last time I checked, Stanford is in silicon valley. Her voice and laugh I couldn't take for 5 minutes.

[@hermanhollander5767]

wow she got old fast

[@annaberger1801]

she loves those interviews where she can spend hours talking about herself

[@vitaliyfursov2011]

for the money she makes - at least she could look better.uld be wise for her to take classes in leg positioning also.

[@bfoz]

Chairs might be too small.

[@vitaliyfursov2011]

Ben Foshager of butt is too big?

[@jeremyhardesty437]

J

[@tickytocky5448]

She is obviously on the spectrum. jay kay. The good thing is she's not a nerd or anything. Know what I mean? No but seriously you can tell she almost doesn't respect him because he's not asking questions like @ her interview @ Stanford about Blitzscaling. She's just rambling in this video the same way you would hear a 5 year old talk about all of their favorite things in the world.

[@orksbaltazarbaltazar9636]

Marissa Mayer, tell me how did you ruin Yahoo7

[@AjayDabhi]

sorry to say, but she didnt ruin yahoo. Yahoo was doomed anyways, Yahoo couldnt be saved. she tried her best. I am in tech industry and what I learnt in my 10 years career is - this is the only industry which do not respect tradition, it only respect innovation. Remember Myspace -where is it now? facebook and Google killed all its competitor

[@untouchable360x]

What about Apple? Everyone thought they were doomed in the 90's and Steve Jobs would fail turn it around.

[@HeadofIbis]

Steve Jobs brought back what Apple lacked since the day he left: Innovation.

[@asdfgh565]

Marissa bought a bunch of startups and destroyed every single one of them. If Yahoo didn't have a stake in Alibaba it would be bankrupt by now. www.vanityfair.com/news/2016/04/marissa-mayer-vs-kim-kardashians-ass-what-sunk-yahoos-media-ambitions She had no idea what she was doing.

[@robertwisser5825]

FYI- You're wrong. Marissa Mayer did not ruin Yahoo. It was a Canadian multi-billionaire entrepreneur and investor from North Vanvouver, British Columbia, named Jeff Mallett whom Bloomberg Business week describes as quote "Yahoo's wizard behind the curtains pulling all the levers" who made the disastrous decision to buy Broadcast.com from Mark Cuban for $5.7 billion dollars in 1999. This bad purchasing decision mortally wounded Yahoo and the company has been very slowly bleeding to death at an almost glacial pace ever since Jeff Mallet made that bad business decision (thus the company was already in a near death comatose trance-like state before Marissa Mayer took over as CEO in 2012). Think about it for a moment what the affect would be on your business if you decided to borrow a lot of money (at compound interest) to buy a web site from somebody for almost $6 billion dollars in cash and then you shut down that website (by redirecting broadcast.com to the yahoo homepage) thus generating no additional revenue from your $6 billion dollar purchase to pay back the money that you borrowed to by broadcast.com in the first place. If you want to know the details of this business deal use Yahoo or Google or Bing or whatever search engine you prefer to use to find an article called "How I Helped Mark Cuban Make a Billion Dollars" on the "jamesaltucher" web site and everything is explained in there. A similar pattern is also currently unfolding over at IBM as you can see if you read a book called "The Decline and Fall of IBM" written by Robert X. Cringely where it explains how Samuel J. Palmisano made some very bad business decisions while he was in charge of IBM that have the potential to permanently ruin IBM's potential for long term profitability and then Palmisano set up his successor Virginia "Ginni" Rometty to take the blame.

[@vitaliyfursov2011]

what's up with voice? drinking problem?

[@vitaliyfursov2011]

And that's the person who gets paid millions in USA,,,, is she smoking ? What'sup with her voice?

[@newworld3844]

He asked all the bs questions. How about asking her about how terrible she is at her job?

[@petersnizek4700]

Lots of superficial management talk and self-adulation - but I miss any passion whatsoever for the technology, the applications, the products and the user base.

[@neverloosehope4233]

+Peter Snizek Yahoo was always trash and crap. With many foulplayers as employees and office workers. They were like a cancer and they fought and censored the customers specifically on Yahoo Answers. This annoyed customers so they left Yahoo and boycotted Yahoo as a whole !

[@petersnizek4700]

+BetterThanEver I wouldn't say "Yahoo was always crap". I feel the issue is that there's not one major Yahoo function I could think of that I'd see as the "go to place" on the internet. Not a single one. That certainly was different in the 90s and early 00's - at least from my point of view. Diversifying the company all over the place didn't help either - it just watered-down what Yahoo stood for. I don't know about the censorship, but this is a typical example for customers taking the good stuff for granted while they never forgive the bad things. What remains is a stake in Alibaba. Without that, Yahoo wouldn't probably be even listed anymore on the NASDAQ. Time to look around for a new business model. Yahoo should probably abandon all resource consuming, bottom line eating functions and then focus on more promising growth areas such as global logistics management services in terms of a saas and network service provider, plus specific areas in big data. That would be even complementary to Alibaba.

[@YisraelPrince]

lol, yahoo was a behemoth. they just cannot strategize their core product. They do not know the why. The why of why were they such a behemoth. They should fire all their consultants.

[@orasis]

Simply, Yahoo! Became a behemoth by solving issues that no longer exist (at the same level).

[@hoax1234]

Really disappointed by her. Her vita looked interesting so I checked out her interviews and talks. She has the pronounciation/intonation of a dumb 16 year old and a weird laugh. That wouldn't matter if she had anything interesting or inspiring to say, which she really doesn't. She's doing the typical womans' thing of talking about people and petty events in detail instead of ideas and visions (check the title of the video again.) And no I'm not sexist, I'm not saying that all woman can only behave like that by nature. But this one is really living up to some negative prejudices so I had to point it out.
