Google vs. MSN vs. Yahoo!

[Freakz]

The way I see it - Google is more tech savvy & nerdy, Yahoo is fun & entertaining, and MSN is right in between. That's why I think Yahoo is in the best position as of now - fun & entertaining.

Anyone feel the same, differnet, no opinion?

There are a few threads about this already...

However I have to disagree with you.

MSN is the Microsoft network, and Microsoft is an evil empire out to conquer the world in which Bill Gates doesn't deserve since he started by cheating and copying other people's ideas anyway. Yeah, they may have products for almost ANYTHING but at $100 per computer

Yahoo! is the most visited website on the Internet simply because it branched out a little earlier than Google did. (Yahoo! started as a web directory back in 1995 and offered free mail. Google at the time still was just search & directory)

Really, all I see at Yahoo, is a dull sense of professionalism and a Wal-Mart type place where you can get lots of stuff but they aren't necessarily the highest quality... e.g. Yahoo! small business with their domains... anybody would agree with me on that. Look at their reviews on this site. And anyway, Yahoo! supports so many features they don't do it well. So, I would not call Yahoo! "fun and entertaining" - seems to me only their Games section might be the least entertaining in keyboarding class :notme:

Google is what I'd say is the aura of the tech world. They are developing technologies and creating services that will revolutionize the world - but not dominate it. See the difference. If anything, I'd also call Google the "fun and entertaining" company... here's a few examples:

Google, yeah, may be a bit nerdy But aren't all domainers a bit nerdy?

Also, saying companies are "tech-savvy", "nerdy", "fun and entertaining", and "right in between" is NOT the way to rate/judge a company. You have to look at statistical facts, labor costs, finances, working environment, size, number of employees, market share. Not just the VERY GENERAL "feel" of it.

Yahoo has geocities while google has blogger.
Msn has hotmail, yahoo has yahoo mail while google has gmail.
Awfully competitive i must say.

But simply based on personal opinions, I prefer the clean look of google and would use google any day to search the internet.

Same here I like Google's simple interface. I seldom use Yahoo and MSN.

For me the Interface and Ease of Use of Google, makes it win hands down. I also think the simple interface attracts a wide range of people, be it the 'nerds', or older people who have basic internet searching abilities.

When the new MSN Kahuna Mail i think MSN will be the best but for now i perfer Google

 

[user-7256]

Note that the service will still be bogged down with graphical, pop-up/under, and flashy ads... so it's kind of redundant to increase the speed of the code by making more like Gmail.

For sure, MSN will be called SlowAdLoadingMail

Google could (if they want to) become so much bigger then Yahoo and MSN
