We have no idea what Katie Couric is going to do for Yahoo! other than get people talking and writing about Yahoo!, but we do know she'll be paid handsomely for it: TMZ is citing a $6 million per year paycheck. And it's a part-time gig. Yahoo indeed.

It's 2013, and David Karp, David Pogue, and Katie Couric are now coworkers. Think about that. They're not sharing a stage at some boring conference or wacky variety show: they're part of the same baffling mission, and emblematic of just how confused and irrelevant Yahoo! has made itself.

Upside-down uber-acquirer Marissa Mayer is fashioning herself into something of a content queen. According to Kara Swisher, the "hey-look-at-me CEO" wants Yahoo visitors to look at Katie Couric too.
