Yahoo news

Have you been fishing all weekend waiting for me to come down the river Count?! The Irish Yahoo page recently personalised it to have a more Irish feel, unfortunately they took the feed from the herald's website. They just put up the most popular stories so if it's number 1 on their website, they won't update it on ours. The news stories underneath it are more up to date I believe. They are still working on it as it's relatively new and the Irish market is really small. I'll pass on your comments though.

Bing have been in search for nearly five years and they are now only making inroads by buying out Yahoo's search, which should happen in the UK/Ireland early next year so I can't see how Yahoo are behind Bing.

 

Google is a massive brand and fair play to it but if you type in 'holiday in spain' or something like that across the 3 engines, the chances are the same advertisers are all showing up. It's just everyone believes the hype about Google, again, fair play to them I guess.

 

Yahoo is more than a search engine though, you can check your facebook, add your favourite pages like ybig.ie onto the yahoo homepage so you don't have to leave the site at all.
