what i find striking in that article is that yahoo's mimicking of google is seen as something better than google.
which is odd because in that same reasoning you can also conclude that without google there wouldn't be a yahoo of where it's now or where it's obviously heading.
in other words that article is badly written and has bad conclusions.
then again, i don't care.

be careful - the sequel is often not half as good as the original!

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

love that yahoo video search.

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.

agreed. there's too much crap on yahoo to make it better that google.

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 :-(

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?

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.
