Simplicity. \n\nEveryone likes Google because when you go to the homepage, it's simple enough... what can we help you search for? It doesn't have advertisements, or distracting ads. Everything is relevent to your search.\n\nIt's not perfect, but simplicity is always best when it comes to the task of searching.

I dont think so.\n\nYa you have to take the internet technology into consideration and not internet persay.\n\nHow could we book our air tickets, how could we communicate with friends half way round the globe, how could we even dream of video phony?\n\nI dont think the present life can sustain without internet technology.

google has always been a search company.  they are just now adding on other services, like email, and some other things, but their emphasis remains in search.\n\nyahoo has been more of a service company from the beginning.  email, chat clients, personals, tech and other forums, news, this answers forum, ..., with many more services to come in the future as well.  Yahoo also has deals with other companies for internet service.  google, not yet.\n\nwhile google has a better search function, yahoo has other things that make it more valuable to more people, so yahoo is likely not going anywhere any time soon.

In my opinion, Google was never something more than a great search engine. In an early era where dial-up was more common than broadband, Google built a top-notch engine with a very light UI which made it an immediate favorite amongst a lot of users. What was nice about Google was that it never aspired to be something someone else was, it created its own identity as a very comprehensive search engine. However, offlate, I have started losing faith in Google, especially because their objectives and goals as a company seem very unclear. A chunk of their revenue still comes through ads, and their search engine is really the only intellectual property they have developed from the ground-up, otherwise everything else is either just an acquisition or a bad idea. Google earth was previously keynote, Google Talk has been built upon Jabber which is an open source technology for messaging and these were the "other" great ideas besides the search engine, but things like web accelerators and secure connection through VPN are just lame excuses to drive internet traffic through their servers.\n\nAnother great idea from Google was desktop search, but somehow they never capitalized on the idea, and today MSN has come out tops in this department.\n\nAt the end of the day, Google isnt running out of ideas, I think they are running out of focus, something that companies like Yahoo have and very well defined ones at that.

Yes.. and i am not making this up when i say I read an article on GOogle saying that they save our search information on cookies on our hard drives. So when we go to google it accesses that information.

Absolutely. I think the search engines and the news websites are 'tuned' to 'focus' people where they want em focused...kind of like china, just not as obvious about it....go to the mega-mega search engine sites that draw on like 15 different search engines...

Well, not really. (making alot of sense) There's a way to link someone's website to certain search words by somehow putting the term on it and then hoarding it with links to that term. Google works by how many links your website takes hits on and that determines how high up on the search you come. It really isn't a coincidence.

Yahoo must have nothing big to cover up, or on the other hand cooperation with the government can pay off later when you need it.  Google could also just be more for the constitution than yahoo
