Former Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer, who resigned on Tuesday after running the company for about five years, appeared at a conference in London today. At the conference, Mayer said one of the things she was looking forward to in her post-Yahoo life was using Gmail again. "I am always faster when using a tool I designed myself," she added.

    "I am always faster when using a tool I designed myself"

    Faster at what? Running a company into the ground? Firing male workers? Complaining of sexism?

    Since when do folks actually quote twitter as a news reference? And quoting some no-body twitter account that claims to be quoting someone else is NOT reference source.

    I mean seriously people, might as well quote "The Sun".

    First one that comes to mind is Flickr. Yahoo bought Flickr, at the time the premier photo site on the web, and proceeded to do nothing to keep it current and competitive. They were developing the ability to geotag photos by dropping on a map which languished for 5+ years allowing Google to bypass them and they could have eaten Instagram's lunch if they had been paying attention.

    You forgot to mention she was one of the founders girlfriend (Brin). That is the dirty secret no one talks about.
