google or yahoo?

Google or Yahoo?

The two search engines Google.com and Yahoo.com are two of the most popular search

engines around the world. These two search engines have quite a few in common. Both engines

allow you to view millions of pictures that are on the internet. You can view and download

pictures that are on any other website from just typing in the name of what you want to see. They

both also allow you to view videos from all over the internet. Most of the videos come from

the website youtube.com, but others come from websites all around the world. Both sites also

offer a news search where you can find the latest news from around the world. They also have

a shopping option, auto option, and financing. Other than the ability to type in anything in the

search box to find what you are looking for, both websites offer emailing. You can obtain both

an email address from Yahoo.com and Google.com. Having an email address from both of these

two, it automatically gives you an instant messaging username. With instant messaging you can

communicate with friends and family with just typing a message and pushing enter.

As much as both search engines offer, they also have things that separate them from each

other. Google gives the user the ability to view the world. You can look at maps and see cities all

across the world. You can get directions to places that you need to go, and you can also see them

in a 3D view as how you would see the world in person. Google Earth allows the user to see the

entire planet. Google Docs allows someone to create word documents, presentations, and

spreadsheets online. You can save them and come back to your work at anytime. Google has

instant links to Blogger.com and Youtube.com. If you are on the go and you need to use any of

these tools, Google has a mobile option for your phone. If you have one of the latest phones, like

an Iphone or Blackberry, you can have Google Earth, Google Maps, Blogger, and all the other

applications that Google has to offer plus the regular search options. You can also video chat

with people using Google Talk.
Yahoo offers things that Google doesn’t. At Yahoo.com you can get the latest sports

updates and see how your favorite teams and players are doing. Using Yahoo, you have instant

access to games, the dating website Match.com, Netflix, University of Phoenix, and a tool that

allows you to look for jobs that are on the market. For those people that are interested in it, you

can look at your horoscope. You can see what the stars have in store for you and your personal

life. If you like to share your photos, there is a direct link to Flickr where you can put your

photographs on the internet for the world to see. Yahoo also offers a very popular movie search

that many people use all the time. You can read movie reviews, view movie trailers, buy movie

tickets, see what movies are coming out soon, and what movies are already out on DVD.

The two popular search engines Google and Yahoo both have characteristics and features

about them that separate them, and make them equal at the same time. Picking one to use is based

upon which one fits your needs and is more comfortable for you to use.
