[RE]Yahoo vs. Google






 
"There are many reasons that leads to the decline of Yahoo. One of many is the rise of G-Mail."- Calvin Lin
     I borrowed this quote from Calvin Lin, in first period English, and I agree with this because many people have started using Google mail and prefer it more than yahoo mail; here are some examples of why some people find g-mail better: The new yahoo mail interface is also very crowded and cluttered, while g-mail is very clean in terms of simplicity. Also, as a minor detail, in g-mail, messages marked as spam will be automatically be moved to the spam folder, while yahoo mail requires that you move to mail to the trash manually.
     G-mail also has other uses, such as viewing your mail on your browser using various ways. Google Docs is useful and convenient while yahoo does not have anything similar. Yahoo has a premium version that costs a sum of money while g-mail is completely free and g-mail has a larger attachment space available than yahoo. Yahoo has a total of 27 various languages available while g-mail has around 40. While both have a feature where the account is deactivated after a period of non-use, g-mail is around 9 months while yahoo is only 4. G-mail allows you to attach documents on the same screen as the message you are sending while yahoo moves you to a different one. Also, adding more than 5 attachments on yahoo requires additional boxes, which some people find annoying.

  2. Google vs yahoo was already settled I guess, Google dominates Yahoo. However, the battle between Bing vs Google is not yet fixed I guess. What do you think?
