Oh, BoomTown really likes Carol Bartz as Yahoo CEO already. In Yahoo’s conference call today, she has sternly lectured everyone to give Yahoo some “friggin’ breathing room” and noted that the company “frankly, could use a little management.” The latter is stating the very obvious, but we like hearing it anyway, and she sounds like she is running the show already. It’s like watching a digital version of “The Gladiator”! Here is Boomtown’s live blog of the Yahoo call, starring Carol Bartz as its new CEO.
