Consultant and blogger Susan Mernit, who previously was a vice president of content at AOL, is joining Yahoo.

"I am joining Yahoo as Senior Director, Product, for the Personals team, starting January 23rd," she wrote in her blog. "I'm excited by the opportunity to focus on one product, energized by both the team and the general Yahoo ethos (and campus-wide talent), and delighted to be working 7 miles from home--a huge change from my usual cross-country commute."
