So, when did google.yahoo.com switch to search.yahoo.com? I missed this metamorphosis, although when I did a search (of course with google!) I came up with a new york times article (from back in late September) that mentions how Yahoo was thinking about switching to Inktomi when their contract with Google was up at the end of the month.
Well, I have no idea when MyWay.com arrived on the scene, but I’d imagine it was shortly thereafter. Not only does My Way look incredibly simmilar to yahoo, but it touts a text banner boasting “My Way is up to 51% faster than Yahoo!”. My Way is heavily google-branded, and appears to do almost everything Yahoo does, including provide free email, web-games (some of which I have already sampled, and are quite fun,) news, and of course the web-directory.
On one hand, I love yahoo. I’ve always liked how sleek and slim it was. But now My Way (whose very NAME appears to say “You don’t like me yahoo, I’ll do it My Way,) is even sleeker and slimmer. Their moto (under the logo) is “No banners. No pop-ups. No kidding.” I mean, how cool is that!?! I’ll be signing up for free email tomorrow sometime just to test it out.
It seems like every other day I run into another interesting article about how google ranks stuff… this one has lots of interesting links to examine sometime when I’m not about to fall asleep.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot my title pun! Sometime soon I will decide what picture I’m going to use to make a LEGO Mosaic. I can’t wait!
