Hmmm what you prefer Google or Yahoo! ?

My personal opinion is that Google is better and I use it.

Bing!

Yahoo!, atleast it's a fair company who doesn't violates privacy and tries to become a digital nazi imperium like Google and Microsoft.
It's a shame that only companies who use the most disgusting tricks become big.
( Microsoft truly has blood on their hands... )

Google because yahoo is slow.

Google for search and some other things because it's convenient, usually works, their auto-complete has a tendency to amuse me, and many of the other things they provide work well for me. Yahoo for chat though - google's chat isn't very well implemented, is a pain to format text in, and they don't provide any easy programs for using it without having your mail open (not that I use the programs the companies provide anyway, but that's another story).

As for the companies playing fair or not...Yahoo hasn't always either. For a while, they had a clause in their terms for their messenger stating that they were allowed to use your unused bandwidth for their purposes.

I have honestly never used yahoo in my life. Not once.

Google Talk is excellent.

I used Yahoo about 8 years ago, and I used Bing when I searched in IE8 and didn't realise it would go to Bing.

Oh, cool. Didn't know they'd created a program for it. Formatting text on their service is still a pain though (I do connect to it, as well as AIM, MSN, and Yahoo).

The solution to all chat programs is trillian .
