What exactly is "Yahoo" and how does it compare to "Amazon" and "e-Bay"?

Amazon and eBay are based on buying stuff.\nYahoo is just a community, basically.\nYou can still buy things on Yahoo, but it's not the sites' entire point.\nNews, email, chat, games. People stuff.

The main difference between yahoo.co.in and yahoo.com is that the content for yahoo.co.in is Indian while for yahoo.com it is US. So basically Yahoo does this to differentiate between geographical locations and for people who prefer Indian content rather US content...\n\nCheers!!\njAY

Currently I would say that yahoo is the better of the two. Only because of its familiarity and integration into other services it uses, i.e. yahoo 360, yahoo answers, flickr, etc.. gmail is more of just a web based email program with limited integration into googles other services, but that could all change.

It depends. Yahoo and google return very very similar results. MSN has a couple of more mismatches. But then again it depends on what you are searching for..

The only real difference between Yahoo.com and Yahoo.co.in is they are "country" versions. Yahoo.co.in is the India version of Yahoo.com and was created so people in India can find out their news, updates, entertainment as well as searches for Indian-related sites and issues.\n\nYour Yahoo ID works on all Yahoo!-owned sites, so no matter what Yahoo! site you use, you only need one to access your Yahoo! account!

Yahoo shopping or Froogle.google.com\n\nBe careful if you buy OEM, unless it is from a "big name" site.  They are sometimes used, and will not pass the authentication.\n\nOn Y-Shopping, the cheapest is $128 from Trinity.  Looks ok, but I have never heard of them.\n\nThe best is $139 from Tiger Direct and New Egg.  Those 2 sites are reliable and established.

Okay, here I go:\n1) Studies show that the general public cannot discern the quality of the two search engines.  However, Yahoo! is still seen (Ad Age) as offering a wider variety of practical services and this would be the main 'thing' that Yahoo! is doing over Google.  Also, Yahoo! offers a direct link to a human-sorted directory, which many novice web users may find attractive.\n2. Google's mapping technology was for time regarded as superior.  It allowed for multi-point trips (for example, you could get the directions from your house, to the museum, then the symphony hall, then back all at once, not one leg at a time).  It also allowed users to plot things like service stations on a graphically superior topographic or satellite map.  However, Yahoo! Maps Beta now offers many of these features and may have been introduced in sufficient time to win back past users who may have been starting to switch to Google.  MapQuest also offers strong competition because of its percieved easy of use and easily accessible practical features.\n3. Many consumers have yet to discover a need for desktop search clients, as the average harddrive is relatively small (compared to, say for example, the Internet) and most consumers (Ad Age) would agree with the statement that they keep their primary files relatively maintained.  However, I would venture to say that Google Desktop has a slight advantage insofar that it is free and usually comes bundled with antivirus software, mapping programs and other freebies consumers want.  However, Windows Vista has a feature called Virtual Directories which are essentially constantly running searches.  I.E You would setup a Virtual Directory called 'Latin Spice!' and it would automatically display every Latin dance MP3 on your computer in the 'directory', regardless of where the files are actually located.  This may make desktop searching software essentially outdated, but it remains to be seen.\n4. Another issue is Google's notorious secrecy.  Although it was bemussing back when they were a 'garage corporation', now that their 'playing' with billions of investors dollars and not the family toolshed, investors want to know whats going on.  Of course there's going to need to be some secrecy lest they leak out ideas to competitors, but overall Google has been slammed for a lack of a definate business plan, and overall direction for the firm.  Case in point, it was speculated that Google would reveal as Google-PC running Google software at C3 this year.  Such wild speculations and twists leads to investor unease.  Also, they are entering into the video market.  I'm not quite sure what the motivation for this was, as they are (at the moment) clearly no match for iTunes powerful video database.  Also, Google fails to advertise these features to the public relying instead (and I believe too heavily at times) on gossip and internet chatter.  Such channels are insufficient for the casual internet user to take advantage of.  Case in point again, many users would be surprised to find out you can ask Google simple questions even over SMS on your cellphone without an Internet browser.  However, Google's AdSense program, though relatively new, gives Yahoo! Search Marketing (formerly Overture) quite a run for its money.  Yahoo! Search Marketing is seen as less attractive to the 'common man' wanting to go into online advertisement because (although they are optional costs) it makes it appear as though large setup fees and ongoing charges are required.  Google's AdSense seems to almost be tailored to small business and large alike, with only a $5 setup fee, more flexible use of what they call 'campains' and an arguably larger viewer base.  Also, Google makes it easier to exapand the AdSense viewing public by allowing even runners of small or personal sites to display the ads, whereas Yahoo! Search Marketing has a more rigourous site requirement

Dear.\nIt realy both search engine is better and nice.\nBut everythink has it own qulities. \n1. Google has it own quilties which:\ngoogle can translate the any other language to english. \nIt will give you result in seconds. Another way it tools. you can blocks pop-ups windows.\n---\n2. Yahoo is also good. but yahoo can not translate the non english languages to english. Infact yahoo is a good search engine in searching people and mailing.\n--------\nThere are others search engine which can help you.\nmsn.com very it will be search very deeply.\n-----\nmamma.com  this is the mother of search engine. It will search you give topic from other search engines.\n\nIt also depond on your topic. whenever you need a software you type just the name of software. eg\nfor example you need yahoo messenger  then you will not use any search engine. you will  go directly to yahoo.com\nbut if you will use any search engine it will give you the first site yahoo.com download available.\n\nFor software and programs only use its own official site.\nThanks ( Muhammad Waqas )

I have been a faithful user of Yahoo search for many years, until just recently.  I noticed that Yahoo does not give me the results i'm searchin for compared to the Google results.  Google has been really impressive lately. \n\nSorry Yahoo... Google has you beat... For Now anyways!

They all have their positives and negatives; I like Gmail for e-mail, but Yahoo has a great my page and e-mail combination and spam protection.\n\nRDV

There are plenty of legitmate and safe (Yahoo has one, for example), but the bottom line is you want the one with the most traffic.  That's ebay...the 800 pound gorilla that can do what it wants.

Whenever I need to buy something, I check eBay first. I look first at auctions that have a reasonable shipping cost and a Buy It Now option at a reasonable price. I stay away from sellers that don't accept Paypal or charge excessive S&H. If I ask a question and don't get a response within a day, I skip that auction. I consider feedback also. Everything else being equal, the auction that provides the most complete information is the one I'm most likely to pursue.
