Yahoo! CEO Takes A Few Shots At Google

Adding a little fuel to the rivalry between Yahoo! and Google, Yahoo! CEO Terry Semel downplayed Google's role in the future of the Internet at the Web 2.0 conference in San Francisco, intimating that he feels Google is out of its league as the 21st century unfolds. After touting Yahoo!'s vision to "create a whole new experience" in Internet media, combining technology with content, Semel busted Google down a few page ranks by implying the king of search had all of its eggs in one basket. ZDNet's one might say that Yahoo! and Google seem to be moving toward different ends, and that this type of comparison, while lifting up Yahoo! (which is Semel's job after all), is apples and oranges. Google appears to be embracing a different strategy altogether. While Yahoo! may remain more ubiquitous on the Internet itself, in the future we may see Google logos plastered on everything surrounding the Internet, reminding us of how we got there in the first place.
