Yahoo Fights Back in Battle With Google

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the battle-of-the-goofy-names dept.

ChipGuy writes "Om Malik has a great analysis of how Yahoo is fighting back the Google assault. 'A handful of blog-evangelists, a couple of key buys - (Odd Post and Flickr) have turned Yahoo from a dot.has.been to the new darling of the chattering classes.' Yahoo's new initiatives like Yahoo 360 are even apprently making Yahoo Web 2.0 compliant."

    the only one they purchased was dejanews and yeah they haven't done a whole lot with it, but i haven't seen a lot of need for much change with that particular feature

    When Google buys something and doesn't modify it: Oh, but it didn't need any modifications.
    When Yahoo buys something and doesn't modify it: Look how they've let this wonderful product squander.

    I'd say that satisfies cult-like status. When people have one set of rules for 1 search engine and another set of rules for all other search engines, it definitely reaks of cult like status.

    cult like status may be true, though i might add it sounds like you are purposefully sounding contrarian, but i would say it stems from two things

    Translation: Google has cult status, but it deserves it's status.
