What do you think .............. Is Yahoo Better or Google?
480577
I have Yahoo as my homepage but I like both for different reasons. Yahoo is the best web portal--I love how everything and anything from movies, news, and sports are easily accessible.  It's also much more intuitive, simple, and clean than other sites like MSN. \n\nWhenever I need to do searches though, I use Google as it is unparalleled in that aspect.

Whilst I agree totally with the sentiments, isnt this exactly what Google is trying to do itself? \n\nCouldnt help laughing at Google mentioning that everybody, no matter how big or small is equal on the internet. HAHAHA - yeah right Google, equal except for those who...\n\na) have been established for 5 years or more\nb) do not link to other websites\nc) do not subscribe to linkfarms\nd) do not pay for SEO\ne) DO pay for google Adwords\n\nAs far as I am concerned both Google and Yahoo are stitching up the internet themselves, nobody is equal anymore, i think the best stance is to remove these 2 big net hijackers from your favourites list and help loosed their stranglehold on us all. \n\nMSN are playing the fairest at the moment, and are CURRENTLY my search engine of choice again.

Yahoo is better! They are more dependable. I had hot-mail and at least once a week had trouble accessing it. I switched and don't have near as many problems. They are great and have alot more interesting features.

My answer is google for the following reasons:\n\nPros of Google:\n\nAs a seach engine, google has the best relevance and presents the results in a way that I find easy to decide what pages are best for me. Its the best in terms of researching information.\n\nFor makin money, a #1 on google is worth many times more than a #1 on yahoo. Yahoo! blocks the top of the SERPs with sponsored ads.\n\nGoogle also has a neat interface. Yahoo is not bad too, but its interface is not that neat. The reason for that being it to be a portal. I think a nice interface is very important since people will come back more often if so.\n\nThe relevance of search results make its 'Feeling Lucky' feature pretty useful. Firefox address bar by defaults goes to 1 site listed on your search results.\n\nGoogle has tried to stay away from Spam/ misleading sites better than other search engines.\n\nCons of Google:\n\nHowever, few problems with google, its web crawler dosen't capture hyperlinks from PDF files stored on net, a feature which Yahoo provides.\n\nAlso, Google at present does not provide an index for video aggregation through the web crawler, a feature which Altavista provided since 1999. The problems include accuracy of the media file. That is the reason for providing Google Videos where users have to submit videos.\n\nDue to a larger share of 'searching' community, Google has been targeted by bloggers by planting Google Bombs. Because most bloggers mention the word failure with President Bush's name, the #1 site on searching Failure is the website of President Bush.\n\nYahoo is doing pretty good research in Search Technologies, for example Grokker.\n\nhttp://www.grokker.com/grokker.html?query=Anirudh%20Koul&Yahoo=true&Daypop=true&numResults=250

Yahoo and MSN are currently ranked higher in Traffic than Google. However, Google is known for it's complex algorythm for relevant search results. This, and the fact that their design and use is simple and clean is why they are considered to be number one and have stayed at the top as a search engine.\n\nObviously there innovative ideas such as answers, books, labs, toolbar and more have attracted users to new services...but as a search engine people continue to use Google because it is what they always 'used' to use.\n\nI think people see MSN and Yahoo as a portal and not necessarily as a Search Engine where as when people say Google all they think is search engine.

I'd go with 1.  The search engine field is still relatively new and people with better technologies and marketing will move ahead over time.  Google has gained a lot of market share over the last few years.\n\nThe Answers here aren't really worth that much.  There is so much junk and garbage that gets through, along with many of the "Best Answers" just being plain wrong.  There are some good answers here and there but I don't really see Answer ever being that great a source for solid information.

Google. Google is like Chuck Norris while Yahoo is like Indiana Jones. Chuck triumphs every time.

Pretty much everything!  Yahoo! is awesome!  There is news, music, movies, it even has its own search engine.  Go to their home page (www.yahoo.com) and you'll see what I mean.

Uptill now, Yahoo was best but recent introduction of Google Earth and Google Talk by Google has brought the Google ahead in the race. Although, this one, I mean, Yahoo! Answers may be a something new on Yahoo part but it is not expected to reveal such results as Google Earth has resulted in. Morover, with the introduction of more an more features in Yahoo Messenger, it has become less and less reliable so that it sometimes shows you online even if you are not really. So, as of now, I rate Google as better than Yahoo.

Yahoo! of course, but now Google seems to be running a close second.

They are both search engine/internet based companies. Yahoo offers more "extra" services than google such as web design, online gaming, matchmaking, etc. Where-is Google hasn't really explored this market yet.

It has to be in the quality of the results that are coming up in the page. Both Google and Yahoo are very similar now in terms of their results so I tend to use both. Yahoo has some great features on their next.yahoo.com page so I think if some of these were widly available I would be more inclined to stick with them. \n\nI really liked that slider bar that allows you to move from Shopping results to Research results!\nMindest they have called it:\nhttp://mindset.research.yahoo.com/

Google is better, sure Yahoo has some similar services but Google has Google Earth, Google Desktop search, the Google Toolbar (which I find superior to the Yahoo Toolbar), Gmail (superior to Yahoo Mail and it works with Outlook for free), Gtalk (the google IM application) and Picasa among many other services.  Plus Google has just released Google Pack which combines their most popular programs into one installer, check it out at http://pack.google.com/

I have been using the internet for a year now and most people I know use Google,so I sarted using just it.Over the months,I went on to discover other possibilities and I am very happy now using Yahho Mail,Yahoo Answers and My Yahoo.I still prefer Google for searching but I don't like gmail,I use it for some practical reasons but don't feel confortable whith it.I think it is good to have alternatives and to be able to use many different resources,in a way that works for you.
