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."

  1. Google vs. Yahoo... clear choice for me. by zaphodb777 · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Said this on the Article's site too...

    Actually, only fools who like to get loaded with spycookies, and other privacy invasions use Yahoo.
    Sure if you like dedicating big amounts of hard drive space to .swf ads, and cookies that can later rat on where you've been, Yahoo is fine.
    Google on the other hand just pushes text ads (low bandwidth and hardware considerations), and loads only it's own cookies, to keep you logged into services. Choice is clear to me. Yahoo=Artsy-fartsy cute. Google=Hard-Core Tool for information handling.
