Yahoo has had some setbacks in the past which forced it to shut some non-us operations. Thats why its moving tentatively over its YPN. Starting in the US first then expanding. Thats what was said in a business interview on UK tv about their recent results.
Alexa doesn't measure things properly. Didn't Yahoo! formerly use Google as its search engine? Whoever said Google has better technologies is right. I think their engineers are more creative and innovative because they use what's available to most people. You don't need to download a Google Messenger or Flash to use Talk or Local, respectively, unlike Yahoo! Messenger and Yahoo! Maps.
FYI, just because a company's share price is higher than another, it does not mean that it's worth more. You have to multiply the current share price by the total numbers of shares outstanding. This figure is the market capitalization. If you want to get technical, there's a term called "enterprise value" which puts cash, debt, etc. into perspective. This is probably the most accurate figure you can use to measure a company's value.
Google is specialized in searching, while Yahoo trys to cover its business to every area. Actually this will dilute its importance in every area. Also Yahoo was famous due to its searching function, but it can't see the importance of search in IT market, and instead it placed its foot on other areas and finally missed the chance. Until today, I'm still thinking yahoo is not better than google, even worse than ebay. Future IT shall be focused on one product or service.

Googe has so much stuff, which targets a lot of different users such as webmasters, groups, everyone really. I think google is better
