A key reason why Yahoos board hired Marissa Mayer as its CEO was her deep-reaching social and professional connections through Silicon Valley.雅虎董事会聘请玛丽莎-梅耶尔为CEO的众多原因是其在硅谷与科技大腕们很深的人脉关系。Those connections were on display last night at a dinner hosted by Nirav Tolia, a longtime Silicon Valley entrepreneur whos now running Nextdoor, a local social network.这一点在昨晚尼拉夫-托利亚举行的晚宴中以求展现出。

尼拉夫-托利亚是硅谷资深企业家、本地社交网络Nextdoor的负责人。A prominent guest: Jony Ive, Apples senior vice president of hardware and software design. The CEOs of Twitter, Yelp, Path, and Dropbox were also there. Mike Cassidy, a director of the Google X skunkworks, posted a photo of the dinner on Facebook. A source alerted us to its presence.一大批硅谷科技大腕们齐聚一堂：苹果硬件和软件设计高级副总裁乔纳森-艾维；Twitter、Yelp、Path和Dropbox公司的CEO也全数在场；谷歌X部门主管迈克-卡西迪参加并在Facebook上公布了一张晚宴照片。The interconnections between this group are staggering. Think of how Paths mobile social network relies on Twitter and Apple, for example; or how Apple once courted Dropbox; or how Marissa Mayer, while at Google, reportedly championed an acquisition of Yelp.这些硅谷大佬们之间的关系让人深感吃惊。

想想看：Path的移动社交网络依赖Twitter和苹果；而苹果曾意欲并购Dropbox；现任雅虎CEO的玛丽莎-梅耶尔在谷歌时又曾想并购Yelp。We contacted several attendees or their press representatives. Stephanie Ichinose, a spokesperson for Yelp, confirmed CEO Jeremy Stoppelmans attendance: He was at a dinner with a bunch of execs last night. Nothing more to report.我们联系了几位参会人员或其媒体代表。

Yelp公司发言人史蒂芬妮-伊奇诺斯证实了该公司CEO杰里米-斯托普尔曼参加了宴会的消息，“他昨晚与其他高层们一起参加了晚宴。其他无可奉告。”No one else has commented on the event.对此事没其他更加多评论。
