Why Google does better than Yahoo!

1) Google is simple

Under the same technology & engineer conditions, Google makes simple products which are easy and fast to use; Yahoo, will make fantastic products too, but, probably, with some complicated functions which users dont need so much but which only confuse users. For example, GMAIL vs YMAIL; GTALK vs YAHOO! MESSAGER; and GOOGLE SEARCH vs YAHOO! SEARCH. That is the truth, if, one tool is able to archive one tast, the simpler, the better.

2) Yahoo! is aged

Just like human being, young people always have more strange ideas than aged ones, so is Yahoo!. Yahoo! was created on the first wave of internet which was populare with news, messages and information. While going to today, the third wave of internet has nearly pasted, Yahoo! still hasnt made imaginable products catering web2.0 users.

3) Google is creative

On the other side, Google is young and full of creation, especially its talent and energical engineers. They create all kinds of products, whether it is good or not, then, put the products into lab to test the response of usabilities. One by one, there increases the number of Google’s popular products and attracts users. 

Sometimes we dont know what users want, so we have to design all kinds of products according to the clues from web. Once we put the products on market, then, users will choose which ones are good and which ones aren’t — that is called rapid developing and fast evolution.
