Yahoo to Dump Google

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the only-a-matter-of-time dept.

unassimilatible writes "The Wall Street Journal is reporting (paid subscription required) that Yahoo! plans to dump Google as its primary search technology. In a major revamp, Yahoo will also add personalization and customization features to extend the usefulness of searches and expand its use of "paid inclusion." Yahoo news has picked up the story. Might be time to rethink that IPO."

    I'm posting this anonymously for obvious reasons...

    I was trying to find out the medical implications of taking female hormones (I'm a transvestite but I'm curious about female hormones).

    All I got was page after page of porn sites... what a crock of shit.

    (BTW, that reminds me - how do you make a hormone?

    - fuck her for 7 hours with a 12 inch cock, lol)

  8. Yahoo dumping Google... by fruey · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Yahoo! have bought up all this technology, it's clearly with something in mind. Google cannot continue it's run at the top, and this move may be a precursor to other stuff. Google are about to give their IPO. Once they do that, investors will start to want bigger ROI and more and more people will be saying WTF Google is all paid advertising now what happened to impartiality.

    As an aside, I think there's a conspiracy. I submitted this story earlier than the current submitter, with more links to background and all, but it got rejected. Am I blacklisted because Taco disagreed with me once (I remained fully polite throughout).

    Drag the lake, you'll find it's full of love. Bring the children to the water and let them see what heartache did. This matrimony needs a witness, and you can teach them to swim.

    I don't know, but I just gave it a try and it already had my website posted in it: http://www.cgff.net listing all of my comic drawings and what not. I don't know how old it is, but it certainly has impressed me. I love the way it organizes everything. I'm so sick of google posting 5000 crappy pages above anything useful. Cheers http://www.cgff.net/comics.html
