Yahoo Searching for New CEO

As heard in The Washington Post's article, Yahoo's CEO Jerry Yang is stepping down and the company is now in search of a new CEO. It is sad to see this after all the time and passion Yang put into Yahoo from the beginning. It's good that he will still be a part of the company as a board member. However, I agree with The Motley Fool that overall this is a good move for the company. It is important to bring in someone completely new in order to start thinking out of the box. Something different needs to be done. Hopefully, whoever this new CEO ends up being will be able to take the big steps that need to be taken for Yahoo.

Gmail Adds VIDEO Chat

Just wanted to get excited about Gmails new video and voice chat. I don't have a camera on my computer but even voice chat is pretty cool to have. And once I get my Mac one day it will be really neat to have this as an option. It would be super easy to use too.

Obama's Online Following

Now that Obama has this list of millions of e-mails and a following all over the internet, what will he do next?

Well, he has already created a new Web site: http://www.change.gov/. I think this site is brilliant with a section for suggestions, a blog, and an area to tell your personal election day story! Gives Americans the feeling of closeness to Obama and the feeling that he is really listening to them.

The interactivity and openness of the internet can definitely benefit Obama in a lot of ways like this article in the Washington Post points out. However, it could be a negative if he makes anyone upset during his term. This gives them an outlet to react and criticize on. Lets hope it doesn't turn out like that but either way, that's what is so great about the internet! It makes Obama have to be more accountable for what he promises and does.
