Yahoo now officially choose Their new IT business captain in Their ship which We hope Yahoo would soon survive in IT World business. Former PayPal President, Scott Thompson been chosen to be Yahoo Inc new CEO as likely We hope could prevent Yahoo business turn out to be shipwrecked IT Company. What a great loss if that future fact happens as We still remember Yahoo's legendary moment on decade ago, and now let's hope that Scott Thompson would be great enough to be Yahoo's messiah.
 
Previous title of Scott Thompson position is Chief in charge of eBay Inc online payments unit, so with background on technical field, which Thompson ever been PayPal's CTO in charge of IT division, product development & architecture, well, for Us, Scott is quite promising tech leader to be Yahoo's messiah. Scott also had been working at Inovant, Visa's subs company to oversee global tech, CIO of Barclays Global Investors, and has worked at Coopers and Lybrand on IT field. Before Yahoo's Chairman on the board, Roy Bostock gives a press release that Scott Thompson gonna be Yahoo's new CEO, Yahoo Inc has been under Tim Morse, CEO ad interim whom gonna move back to CFO title.
 
So, would Scott Thompson great enough to be Yahoo's messiah, better than Carol Bartz or even compare with Tim Morse? Perhaps, because when We see Scott background from technical field, seems He knew a lot that could give major breakout & save Yahoo Inc. Maybe one of the biggest problem that Scott Thompson needs to resolve early is, dogfight upon ineffective business division & prepare Yahoo Inc to attack deeper in mobile tech marketplace. For that kind of mobile tech marketplace development, Scott Thompson IT background would be great advantage to count.
 
While in every research due regard Yahoo next improvement & development move, that action gonna need big fat cash which Yahoo under Scott Thompson could think the fastest option that delivered by Alibaba & SoftBank whether to sell some part of stocks to turn in as ammunition. With that great amount of fund, someone like Scott which has deep tech platforms experience on large public consumer Internet company in Silicon Valley could regain something missing out from Yahoo, new invention move, creative direction & strong leadership.
 
On Our 2 (two) previous article about Yahoo, “What Yahoo should do” & “What Yahoo should do next”, We give a simple analysis about Yahoo circular step that seems only to maintain but not going forward. Year 2011 on year We call era of Apple, Google, Facebook, Samsung & Microsoft, Yahoo isn't available to make great major IT World movement which We count too bad actually for Yahoo brand. Last few years ago already prove that mobile tech marketplace would be a must in every IT World business player. Make a something great & new out of it or else, be a failure sinking ship as the result. And Yahoo brands seems not viable & ready at all to be one of biggest IT Company if We talk about mobile technology.
 
While We see that Scott Thompson is great asset upon eBay & PayPal, We quote that online business, Internet core tech & mobile development are not something that difficult to handle due regard Scott capability & IT special skill He has. His passion over PayPal & Red Sox would show Us that He would like to involve in any mutual business communication based on overwhelming eagerness with positive energy like it should be on sports team like Red Sox. Though We see that Scott also needs to learn fast in IT consumer business like Yahoo, We could only say, please give Him a time to prove what He's worth or not to be Yahoo messiah.
 
Good luck & congratulation, dear Mr. Scott Thompson as new Yahoo CEO & let this new year also brings good luck upon Yahoo Inc!
