Google vs. Yahoo

,

According to a recent comparison of the New York Times, I found the Yahoo was getting the run upon in attracting people to a rang of services beyond their search engines.
Here's the table:



As I had said, I'm a big fan of Google's.In my opinion,Google versus Yahoo to some extent equals the consistent versus unpredictable,the integration versus speed.
Just like Yahoo’s chief product officer once said,"“Our philosophy is that being part of the Yahoo network is a huge advantage and a huge competitive differentiator.When we build a product that takes advantage of the Yahoo network, it doesn’t feel like an orphan."" the company’s huge user base sometimes requires it to move more slowly when changing products like e-mail. ",those factors made Yahoo put new features into each product always months late to market with any good idea.
At the same time, Google tends to introduce a lot of new products and then watch to see what works. This has the potential to alienate users if there are too many half-baked ideas or false starts.Like the product in Labs.
Anyway,I like Google a bit more.I like the way that they would come up with a cool idea and run with it.All they have to do is to have a tradeoff between integration and speed.Who benefits finally?
Always be us.
