I sort of think that Yahoo and Google are hard to compare because each is a product of their "internet time".

Yahoo is one of the last of the true portal sites, the "has everything, offers everything" sort of service, soup to nuts, news to entertainment, chat to hosting, email to stock market news. It's all created in house or done as part of the Yahoo site and experience.

Do you Yahoo?

Google on the other hand is maybe the first web 2.0 company, if you want to look at it that way. Google has no content, nothing is their own. They create only the tools to handle other people's content, to display, to guide, and so on. They offer tools, but those are all tools that tend to lead back to their content display services.

Google isn't a content company, Yahoo is. This is nothing more in the end the proof that only fools create content at this point, as it isn't the profitable end of the business. Google pays fuck all for content, but is considered by many as the best source.
