This year’s All Things Digital conference featured a fascinating on-stage interview of Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz by Kara Swisher. Besides delving into Bartz’s short history at the company, the talk also covered some potential strategic moves. According to AllThingsD’s account, Bartz said Yahoo was "very interested in social."

Of course, this is not the first time Yahoo has talked about big social networking plans. But what makes this different is Bartz’s drive to execute quickly and decisively on reforming the company, and her stated desire to turn Yahoo into users’ "home on the Web."
