File under: maybe Yahoo won’t be such a crappy site/email service anymore.

The talk yesterday at a blogger’s event for a certain frozen yogurt shop in Park Slope, in addition to what flavor of yogurt to try, was about Marissa Mayer, the brand new executive of the troubled Yahoo (and my email service).

Many at yesterday’s event for mostly twenty-something Brooklyn social media mavens were enthusiastic about the choice of Mayer, who was a very early employee of Google, is a trained engineer, with a masters degree in computer science from Stanford. She ran Google’s search group, location and local division.

Good cred, I’d say.

The company has not had great luck with leadership recently. A slew of execs have come and gone, including. Terry Semel, Jerry Yang, Carol Bartz, and Scott Thompson.

A young woman who works at Small Girls, the PR firm that is handling said new Park Slope yogurt shop’s PR suggested that Mayer might render Yahoo a cool place to work.

The plain yogurt was my favorite and I’m excited to see if Mayer, who happens to be pregnant, brings something new and exciting to the Yahoo table.
