3 months ago I wrote about how Yahoo would never be taken over by Microsoft. Now at the end of a lengthy process involving many offers, threats, and attempts at hostile takeovers, Microsoft have eventually given in.
In case any of you weren’t aware, I use Yahoo Search as my main search engine after I became disillusioned with Google’s “PageRank” system and their general way of going about business. After about 6 months with Yahoo, I can definitely say that I see no obvious advantages to using Google as a search engine. I find all the same info I need in the same time I would have taken if I did use the big G.
People say that Google is more useful because it has more pages saved, but what they forget is that a lot of those pages will be useless dead ends, and some won’t even be properly entered into the online search (I’ve had enough problems finding things on my own sites to know this is the case). when it comes to actual useful content, both Google and Yahoo come out top.
