The W$J is reporting that Meg Whitman is about to step down as CEO of eBay. Speculation about Whitman's potential departure has been around for weeks, though only in technology outposts. No one else seems to care. There was a time -- not that long ago -- when it was hard to read the business section of a newspaper without encountering Meg Whitman. I used to feature eBay as one of my case studies in Law & Entrepreneurship, and students were really interested to take a peek behind the curtain. Now, a Google News search for Whitman produces as many hits for her backing of Mitt Romney as for her running of eBay. Strange that eBay is now ... boring.
On a related front, Yahoo! is set to lay off hundreds of employees.
