My Writeup: Google Vs Yahoo!

Hey! Do you see what I am seeing. Seems Google and Yahoo! have locked horns?

Google launched Gmail, Maps (not my facourite service), Froogle (still in beta), Local (my favourite) and they have done rather well with their products and services. With an ever increasing mailbox size, people are quite attackted to Gmail. Now with Google powering Orkut, Blogger, Picassa and Hello they really have gone a long way from whether they have started.

On the other hand, we see Yahoo! trying to live upto expectations by increasing their mail box size to 1 GB. And with the launch of Yahoo 360! they really are catching up with what they had missed out.

Google needs a messenger service to level with Yahoo!'s YIM. But at this time Google seems to be concentrating on a Mozilla based web browser. But can't be surprised if Google takes over Skype, one of my favourite Messaging system with exceptional voice quality.

So hold on and watch these companies closely.
