Gina Trapani is the only person I'd ever seen who was impressed, nay- starstruck, when she came to Yahoo to talk at Bradley's thing he used to do. It was both depressing and refreshing, since most guest speakers would have to quickly change the word "Google" to "Yahoo" on their PowerPoint. Or wouldn't bother and tell us how pathetic we were.
