Google vs. Yahoo: On a Collision Course
An anonymous reader writes "It's pretty clear from this analysis as to which company is ahead of the game. Take this simple comparison: at Google, engineers are expected to spend one day a week on a project of personal interest. This has resulted in new offerings like Google News and social networking site Orkut. At Yahoo, there are posters promoting the "Idea Factory", where employees are invited to well, submit ideas (read boring)."
But at least those of us without 4.0 GPAs and PhD's can work there.
Google for Google. Google that Googles.
Hokey statistics and ancient misconceptions are no match for a good thought in your head, kid!
Two search engine companies? Competing?
I am shocked!
Chicagoogle... find all thing Chicago! : )
You can't take the sky from me...
Do you have a PhD?
"I do believe that Google will hit a wall eventually, and it will hit it spectacularly," said the book author Moore. "The real question is: What will it do then?"
Can't they just do it, and get it over with. I'm starting to get tired of all the fuzz about them now a days.
Scully: Should we arrest David Copperfield?
Mulder: Yes we should, but not for this.
that ask people to stop submitting google pages with "Yahoo" photoshopped over "Google."
First an idea factory... Next thing you know, yahoo!'s going to be putting up 'Let your imagination soar' posters in the break room. Revenue should double. But, if they really want do dominate the internet, yahoo is going to have to spring for the 'employees must wash hands' poster in the bathroom. While typhus and ringworm bring google to its knees, the clean handed geniuses at Yahoo! laugh all the way to the bank.
Hah, at first I thought it was a search engine for Latina women.
Another one bites the dust
Size of the entire internet man,
Usually kind to smaller man,
Google Man.
Yahoo Man, Yahoo Man,
Hit on the head with a frying pan,
lives his life in a garbage can.
Yahoo man.
Google Man and Yahoo Man,
Meet on the street in internet land,
They have a fight,
Google wins.
Google Man.
Chicagoogle... find all thing Chicago! : )
I personally like goocago better. :-)
Dude1: I got! We'll buy Deja-News!
Dude2: Brilliant! Have some more options!
My other car is a Popemobile
The scene: A collision.
Idiot #1: "Hey! You got your Google in my Yahoo!"
Idiot #2: "Dude! You got your Yahoo in my Google!"
Together: "Yuuuuum..."
Mr. Announcer Man: "Goohoo, two great tastes that go great together!"
At Yahoo, there are posters promoting the "Idea Factory", where employees are invited to well, submit ideas (read boring).
Yeah, but at Yahoo! Japan it's the "Super Happy Fun Idea Factory!", which isn't as boring, you have to admit. I'm already excited!
So having a PHD makes you a genius?
HAHAHAHA! You know nothing of the real world!

My other processor is big-endian.
"Yahoo, many analysts believe, is entering a new era as a media company rather than a tech innovator. It's been building a Hollywood headquarters and an entertainment team under newly hired Lloyd Braun, a former ABC executive" They hired Lloyd Braun? I hate Lloyd Braun. You know they say that he cost Mayor Dinkins the election.......
CEO Tim Koogle left Yahoo? He should get a job at Google, if for no other reason than to be able to say:
Hello, I'm Koogle from Google.
to hear that someone turned Google down! That's like telling ST. Peter at the pearly gates "No, thanks"..
"Lack of technical competence coupled with the arrogance of power, as usual, leads to no good end."
Yep, that's absolutely true. And the former staff of Flickr is now enjoying their new roles cleaning bird cages in the office of the Chief Executive in Charge of Leveraging Synergies Moving Forward.
