Yahoo better than Google?




Yahoo, a site that many people go to for news, search engines, and information. Yahoo has been the most used search engine for a very long time, blowing out competitors by a lot. The amount of users that Yahoo has had logged in, or just browsing, has doubled Googles numbers. But lately, google has caught up to yahoo, and there is cause for concern. Yahoo is losing members due to its plainness. There isnt much on yahoo anymore. Another heavy competitor, Facebook, has come out of no where, and is already a top competitor for people who use their website. Over millions have a facebook account, where you can socialize, meet friends, talk to them, and other fun activities. Yahoo has a lot off revamping and catching up to do, in terms of keeping its users active and atracted.

Yahoo is trying to revamp its site because day by day, yahoo is eroding, and losing members. Google is quickly catching up, and Yahoos retaliation is that it believes it should be come a new social site, but keep everything they already had. They want their members to be able to socialize with others, and interact. Yahoo is primarily used for searching. Very highly searched topics are weather, news, shopping, etc. As time goes on, Yahoo will slowly become non existant in the world of HTML, simply because they arent improving, while Google, Facebook, and many other sites are. Yahoo needs to come out with new, inferior ideas and things that people can do on the site.

Yahoo is trying to improve, which is helping, but there are many other sites, or programs that do what they are doing, better. For example, if you wanted to buy music, or movies, would you go to Yahoo Premium Music, or Itunes? Itunes is the definite choice, since everything about itunes is essentially music, and movies. Yahoo has a lot of catching up to do, if it wants to stay in the top contenders of the internet. With facebook, google, and many others uprising, and becoming very popular, Yahoo must do what it can to attract more users, and keep the original users, from getting away.
