    5 posts in and you come up with statements such as this. Why are you here anyway?

    Just to prove at least one facet of your statement wrong - Google releases Google Answers, Yahoo follows with Yahoo Answers. Guess which one is still alive and running today?

    Also, Yahoo offers much more services than Google does to the end user - it is the world's largest portal as well.

    Yahoo and Google are competitors and both are good ...

    But it is true that >>> Google has a mkt. Cap of 185.42B (increasing)
    Yahoo has a mkt. cap of 37.35B (increasing)

    NASDAQ >>

    GOOG (GOOGLE)
    594.05 +15.02 (2.59%) 5 Oct 4:00pm ET

    YHOO (YAHOO! INC.)
    27.88 +0.73 (2.69%) 5 Oct 4:00pm ET

    There is difference true. But Yahoo is still the biggest portal and really gave us some great product in past such as YIM, Flickr .. and we all look for the future.

    People loves simplicity, that is where Google is playing game. Both are competitors of each other and both are good in their own way ... true fact

    thanks blogo for quite sharp information
    and as for me they are really good both in its own way, i have an e-mail on yahoo and also i've registered on gmail not a long time ago...sure google perfomes better e-mail as it seems to me not cause of huge space -more than 2000mb but max. convinient tools etc...but on the other hand on yahoo i've posted my photos, and you know, im glad about that service,firstly i've been uploaded my photos but i couldnt get them in original size, now it becomes possible...so they read my idea and did it, (by the way in 2 years)
    so now it renewed...and of course race history continues...

    yes, google has bigger market, but the recent PR story is showing the cracks. i cant say google's search results produced are better than yahoo, but fact is that when you search for anything on google, you have got to do a lot of searching within the search results to actually find quality content.
