If this is about hiring for talent, then Yahoo is in serious trouble. I will give her this - people are talking about Yahoo again. Some of that was the old board, but she deserves some of the credit too.

I don't know if this solves Yahoo's "core" problem or if they even have a "core" problem as opposed to a shitload of small problems. I know I'm not sure about a lot of what Yahoo has done over the last year, and I'm pretty skeptical if Yahoo can even be turned around but I'm giving Marissa at least 3 years before making any judgements.

This article is full of fluff. How exactly do each of the acquisitions start to solve the core problems of Yahoo?

Each of the acquisitions tells us more about what Yahoo wants to be. Thus far, it's been dilutive to the brand but overall strategic. I have faith they will integrate these products and teams much better than they did in the past.
