According to news out today from the Wall Street Journal, Carol Bartz, the former CEO (and current executive chairman) of software company Autodesk, will be named the new Yahoo CEO. Bartz has been praised for her management and deal brokering skills but has never run an internet company, nor does she have an advertising background. General reaction seems to be mixed.

I've seen it on TechCrunch, I can't believe they are handing the company in to the hands of 60 years old granny. And then we wonder why Google is gaining a monopoly on search industry -.-
