"The Search Engine That Isn't a Verb, Yet",

The New York Times published an article about yahoo and it's competition with Google. The author implied that Yahoo is somewhat jealous of Google's status as a verb. Terry S. Semel took over as chief executive of Yahoo in 2001 and since has been making great strides, outpacing MSN and AOL in many areas. Many have come to see Google as Yahoo's big rival. Yahoo was founded in 1994 and most people considered it a search engine. But Yahoo has relied on Google search results. In 2004, Yahoo finally replaced these results with its own search engine, using a robot called Slurp to read web pages. Yahoo has done much to portray itself as an all-in-one package with email, music, search, and news information. But Google is planning to unlease it's own free email, gmail. It will be interesting to see how this plays out in the future.
