Marissa Mayer: Google's Loss And Yahoo's Gain


Google Images

Google Images shows a list of images in multi-pages based on the keywords the user types. In the list of results instead of showing image information right below individual images, the user gets the image as thumbnail. By hovering over it, the thumbnail will grow a bit in size and show its information text below it, like file name, originating site, and contextual keywords etc. Thumbs are shown border-less, and rather close to each other.

 

Mayer’s Other Achievements At Google

She was the Vice President overseeing the company’s location services and local business products. While being in that position she controlled 1000 product managers.

She was one among the Senior Executives at Google’s Operating Committee and was the first female engineer at the company.

Mayer joined Google in 1999 and was the most popular spokesperson of the company ever since, recurrently appearing on media, giving press interviews, speaking at public events.

Mayer says, "Google is really my family. They have been life-defining for me." In short, Mayer, most trusted by Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, has played a major role in molding one of the greatest successes of Silicon Valley.
