Someone forgot to remind Yahoo CEO to set the privacy controls on her Facebook page. Or she is one big open book.
Either way, the more I think about it, it is so besides the point. Here is Yahoo with its fresh new CEO — the young blood this company so desperately needs — and no one there thinks to update the new Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer’s title on Facebook, Google+ and LinkedIn accounts.
It just looks … slack.
Sharp folks on Wikipedia managed to update her high school’s entry to include her as a notable alum. And they’re not even getting paid!

Her tweeting style is interesting. Primarily, as you can see below, it is weekly — and always promotional. Now she’s tweeting about Yahoo. Just recently it was Google.
