    Default Google or Yahoo? Which one do you use?

    Just wondering which one you guys prefer and why.

    Google or Yahoo?

    Google may be the worlds number one at the moment (I think) but I still swear by Yahoo. I've been using it for years for all my Internet search thingys and that aint gonna ever change.

    Which do you like?

    Google.

    I haven't used yahoo since I started thinking critically. Yahoo loads about 99% useless info (entertainment, porn, pie, movies, etc)

    I don't need that crap.

    When researching something I always think of Yahoo first. Probably because I discovered/was told about it first when I started using the internet. It seems most people I know IRL think of google first.

    Google. In fact, it's my homepage.

    Why? Well, it always seems to find what I need, the image search tool is very useful, and the lack of images means that it will load quickly in my browser. Besides, Yahoo irritates me with it's dumb colours and annoying pictures.

    You k now you can sing in on a google homepage, and load it up with all the RSS feeds you want?

    I get about 300 blurbs a day on it in things from Religion to science, the weather to IT, and entertainment news to Docterate Reports.

    Google owns yahoo in every way possible through customation.

    I use Google for most of my searches. Yahoo for local stuff, like movie theaters, places, show times, etc...

    Yahoo is great to search for recent news though. Much better than Google news!

    Google news take almost 24 hours to add new stuff. You would only find 9/11 articles on google news on 9/12 :rolleyes2 On Yahoo it shows up an hour or so after.

    But the killer search for recent happenings is Technorati

    I use Google for my searching, but Yahoo is used for pretty much everything else it has to offer.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.
