Yahoogle. What do you think of the name? Our kids will be using that search engine.

Hey how bout Yahgoo.com lol... its shorter and easier to remember..

 

complete monopoly and no competition if yahoo and google merged

 

I think it's better they stay in their own positions and do not merge!

 

Yahoo and Google friend ship will not last long

 

yahoog is not that good.
Yahoogle is good.... the search enginge should show results from both yahoo and google

 

There was a website that use to do that. The name of the website was gahooyoogle.com . But it had some lawsuits against it for trademark infringements. It was a search engine conceptually. But what it did was when you put the keywords or whatever you were searching for and clicked on search you would get the results for both of Yahoo and Google on the same page. Yahoo results would be on the right and Google results would be the left. Here is what the archive.org page looked like of gahooyoogle.com looked like: http://web.archive.org/web/20070818133808/http://gahooyoogle.com/

And here is a blog posting about gohooyoogle and what the results of the dual search would look like: http://hubpages.com/hub/GaHooYoogle

 

You guys are missing the domain that makes the most sense..


Goohoo

 

Thats interesting.. looked nice and must have worked excellently

 

hehe very funny thread, I prefer yahgool than Yahoogle...

 

...or maybe YooGoo, or Yahgle.

 

How about Ghoo???

 

Sorry and a correction.

It was not gohooyoogle because i still remember till this day i used http://www.yagoohoogle.com

The founder is called: Asgeir S. Nilsen. from http://blog.twingine.com/ the founder speaks about it here: http://blog.twingine.com/2005/05/trademark-problems.html and here http://blog.twingine.com/2005/05/end-of-yagoohoogleand-beginning-of.html

The concept still remains visit: http://twingine.com/

what was an infringment was the name similarity and logo.

 

how about BooHoo

 

Isn't everyone?

 

Hi Germz the link you posted in your first post does not work any longer?

Hmmm i think this thread is a conspiracy, dont you think too!?

lol read my post number 32 in this thread ^^

 

I agree that it would be very bad for the consumer. Having almost 90 percent of all searches go thru one source would be a real stranglehold on the public. You would eventually see bribery by deep pocket companies to get the top spots in the organic search so the blue chip biggies could have a monopoly on the big retail and wholesale terms, much like they do now to a de fact degree in the brick and mortor retail world (firm likes starbucks and walmart do not have ana ctual monompoly, true, but they are dominant in their fields) Just my personal opinion, we will have to see what happens obviously.

 

A google/yahoo tie up has a lot of regulatory issues

 

Almost agree 100% but the part about bribery.
Would be good for SEO to have to follow up just on one strategy rather thatn different ones now for diferent Se's?
On the other side would be impossbile to keep a decent budget for SEM havng a unique player with 90% of the market.
For me (and Im sorry if Im seeing too much consiparacy here), the team up is a way that yahoo found to make equick cash and send a signal to the investors that they can generate money without Microsoft trying to avoid an hostile take over from Micros.

BTW my favorite name would be as said before Gogloooo

Even if they will merge there won't be Yahoogle, there will still be yahoo and google, they will just be owned by one company. And if MS will buy Yahoo, same thing, there wont be yahove and livehoo, live and yahoo.
Google bought Youtube, myspace and orkut, they are not Googletube, myspoogle and not goorkut!!!

 

I highly dought it's going to happen, Google will stay Google and Yahoo! will stay Yahoo! (Well that's what I think anyway!)
