Google Vs. Yahoo: When We Last Met...

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the return-of-the-fisher-king dept.

I-R-Baboon writes "The New York Times has this article on the battle between the once #1 Yahoo and the current champion and #1 Google. Yahoo wants it's throne back and is ready to throw the gloves off and mix it up with Google. But can the uncluttering of their page, toning down the ads, and using some features not currently offered on Google give them their title back?" Of course, Yahoo! will have to get in line behind Microsoft as well.

    i dont want to load 10kb of bloat every time i enter a keyword to search for.

    You better find a Gopher-based search engine then; I make Google's homepage to be at least 12,294kb including the image.

    Google turned search around....I think it will be difficult for Yahoo to attempt to compete with them. I think Yahoo will be better trying to be better at being Yahoo.
    Suddenly, slashdot posters sound coherent and intelligent...

    Incidentally, how did Google "turn search around?" In Soviet Russia, perhaps, web sites search for you?

      How was that offtopic? The quote was taken from the article.
