Yahoo and Google are two giant players in the web industry. Both of them are have what is important in this age, that is INFORMATION. Their crawlers are working 24 hours a day finding what relevent and not found by their competitor.

Google and Yahoo are extending their network beyond their focus, search engine. Now they have too many products and services to be count. This site summarizes their products and services. In short, it says Google do task simpler, but sometimes we need a-not-simple solution, and Yahoo is better there.

Another site gives us as user more information instead trying both of them. This site not only try to compare, moreover it lists services and products found in one party and not found in the other. In the end, it says good thing about Yahoo, but leave the choice to the user.

Main product for both of them is their search engine. Let’s try to compare them! I search for “nanda firdausi”, Google returns 190, and Yahoo returns 113. Google is rocks! :D

How about comparing the results side by side? Too many site provide this. You can try this, this, this (this site using post action in the form :( ). But the most interesting user interface is given by this site, which draws graph based on the result.

More interesting comparison, see here :P. My conclusion, as far as for the speed, Google are too superior to beat.

If you are interested in their inside job, try to compare their size of indices. You can read the result here.

News is getting more serious attention lately. Both Google and Yahoo have Google News and Yahoo News. They take different direction, where Google try to computerize the news picking mechanism, Yahoo is picking their news by human. Amazingly, news is faster appear in Yahoo than in Google.

More long and descriptive post about them can be found here and other is creating their own news aggregator using both of the service.

To compare the products more specifically, you can go to these site:

• compare mail services
• compare mail visually
• compare spam engine
• compare their map products
• compare route given by the map
• compare map thoroughly
• comparison map – one more
• compare their blog search services
• compare their ad relevancy
• compare their ad moreover
• compare their ad service
• compare many desktop products
• compare personalized search

The best side is you can always pick what you want, best the breeds from both of them.
