- Marissa Mayer, formerly an employee of Google.com becomes the new CEO of yahoo.com. To add a sense of humour, yahoo searched for a new CEO and google search engine gave them an answer – Marissa Mayer. HA! I wish her all the best in steering the leadership of Yahoo in the right direction. Oh! Did I forget to mention that she is pregnant?
- Twitter shakes up its search engine by showing you relevant search filters for your keywords. No more irrelevant search results whenever you search for a particular #hashtag or topic on its search engines.
