Marissa Mayer started by making Yahoo free

How is new CEO Marissa Mayer going to revive Yahoo ? Making the company look more like Google , from which it just left, writes Mashable .

According to Kara Swisher, Meier has already introduced some changes at Yahoo headquarters in Sunnyvale, California. Among them: holding weekly general meetings on Fridays, as well as free food in all internal cafes.

Of course, it's easy to say that all this is borrowed from Google , but free food has long been standard in many offices in Silicon Valley - the fact that at Yahoo this was not the case was likely a sore point for some engineers. Facebook and Twitter , for example, make free snacks and prepare meals for their employees every day.

These are, of course, minor changes, but they are likely to increase the morale of the company, whose image has deteriorated over the past seven years.

In addition to new meetings and free meals, Meier also plans to significantly change the working space in the office to make it more conducive to working together and more generally interesting. She also plans to improve Yahoo’s core products, including email, Flickr, and search.

In addition, according to sources, Swisher, in the coming days, a big deal may become known that will mark the new direction of the company. As one source put it, Yahoo will once again become a technology company - a company of platforms and products.
