i love google so much, you can use gmail for even msn. You can use your google video account on youtube. And you can even get an google side bar by them its really cool.

I really like the versatility of Google, but IMHO I prefer Yahoo! It clusters everything you want, weather, news, entertainment, and such all in one page. Also, I'm a huge fan and addict of Yahoo! Answers. But overall, I use Google more frequently for it's simplistic and clean design.

I'm a bit of both, actually. I never preferred Google for mail or anything other than Maps or Searches.
Google is my homepage, for example. From there, I can search for a website or just type in which website I want. However, I use Yahoo for movies, my email, and news. Sorry to be such a fence-sitter!

I go for Yahoo! because Google is "too-much" and Yahoo! IMO has better "service" (i guess you can call it that). I use Yahoo! mail, and its my go-to search engine (then its dogpile).

I use Google for my mail, news updates, and to search about anything I need to. I have it in my toolbar so if I hear a word I don't recognize I just 'google' it. I love Google because it is an easy way to access information and other things.
For Yahoo, I use it to check movie times and that is about it. I use Google more than Yahoo so I say I am more of a Google fan. --------------------  Chamber 934... Where the Phoenix Sings |

Sorry to be such a fence-sitter! i usually dont care about what movies are coming out though since i usually go to the movies enough to find out whats up so i dont need yahoo and i think google is overall a better search engine then yahoo. -------------------- Sig and Avatar made by CrazyClone "No more lies, No more Hate, No more politics..."- Trevor Mcnevan ,What defines the right to be free? |

Google for web searching.
Windows Live for mail. Yahoo for nothing. Sorry but I do not like Yahoo. No particular reason. It just has too much stuff on it. |

I use Google - I used to use Yahoo all the time. But then I started using Ask Jeeves, then from there went to Google. Now I can't stand the look of Yahoo- not sure why it just annoys me!!
I have email from my service provider, and one for MSN, so I only use Google for looking for sites, not for anything else. -------------------- "Oh no, not again" -Bowl of Petunias The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy |
