I use both very frequently. I love Google for information searches, and Yahoo for news and stories. I think while Yahoo was orginally intended to be a search engine, it has evolved into a news center. I love Yahoo's homepage and how it places relevent up to date news stories. I rarely watch televison anymore, so I get the majority of my current events from the Yahoo home page.

 

So to answer your question yesboth are still relevant. Google for just searches and Yahoo has transitioned to more of a journalism page that has search options. :)

What happened to Yahoo? Nothing and this is the issue. They are still following the same strategy and not being a competitive threats to its counterpart: Google. You can see they are diversifing their activities and they are making money. They have their own markets and so many users are still using tehir services but they need to do more if they wanna compete in the current tough industry and become more social.

google built very strong image and greate postioning for itself in the market.

i use google, yahoo , both.  old is gold. 

The PLC if applied would probably show yahoo as dead but there have been instances where due toreinvention an fresh lease of life was infused which saw resurgence of many products. yahoo seems completely out of idea or it seems they are keen on writing their obituary themselves!

 

Reinvention is the key here!!Even if it means learning from your competitors!
