Yahoo PR head resigning
The deck chairs at Yahoo are a-changing once again, with the company's chief communications officer, Jill Nash, stepping down in the next few weeks, a company spokesman confirmed.
Nash, who joined Yahoo in January 2007 as its PR head, will assist in the transition once her replacement is found, said Brad Williams, a company spokesman, noting that she is not leaving to take another job.
Nash's resignation announcement comes less than three weeks after Yahoo named its new CEO, Carol Bartz.
Her pending departure follows that of Yahoo President Sue Decker, who announced in mid-January plans to resign after she was passed over for the CEO post.
Nash, however, did not have her hat in the ring for the CEO job and it's not clear what her future plans will entail. Nash was not immediately available for comment.
The departure of Yahoo's PR head was first reported in AllThingsD.

The fact that Yahoo can't (or perhaps has no interest to) release native apps for the hottest platforms on the market tells me that this company has serious problems. It looks like the only thing they have is Yahoo Go, which looks like it was designed in 2003, and looks antiquated even compared to what high school kids are producing these days. What could possibly be the problem? No vision? No leadership? No ability to code in anything beyond HTML and JavaScript?

- She probably got fired by "big package" Bartz.
