One only has to look at the quality of the products being offered. Take for example the maps--can one seriously deny that Google has provided a better quality map?
Because there is "live traffic" shown on the Yahoo version, it can be crap quality?
Look at the interface design (Google), the lack of frivolous advertisement (@gmail), and the pioneering of innovation.
You can't be considered First when your Following, in my book.

yep that is actually a good thing since competition improves quality, lowers prices and challenges developments.

My site is represented better on yahoo. hmm maybe I will give this yahoo another chance.

i think you're overrating yahoo and underestimating google really. taking on a ceo from times warner promises nothing good imo. times warner / aol owns too much and is too dominant. they prolly gonna crossbreed yahoo with other times warner / aol entities into a frankenstein.

goog seems to be becoming what yahoo used to be - wearas yahoo just aquired the CEO of Warner -
yahoo are becoming the entertainment destination on the web - i think its the one to watch?

ah you might be right, google used to (still do?) provide the search results for yahoo.
http://www.theyrule.net does not have yahoo or google on it :-(

that's the only thing at this point that yahoo differs with google. videosearch that is. and is that groundbreadking? no not really, alltheweb has been using it for ages. altavista for quite some time as well.
anyways, does that make yahoo better than google? don't think so, what they forgot to add in the equation is branding and the fact that some people have hard time changing searchengines plus google always has been the "rebels" vs. the "corporate" yahoo. that will remain for quite some time now.
again, yahoo is copying google. that means yahoo isn't #1.

love that yahoo video search.

i think competition has it own intrinsic benefits though - have you tried its video search its fucking ace
from what i gather yahoo has a wider range of products and has more patents than google
