No surprise there. I google’d when I was at Microsoft. Search engines will come and go. Altavista, Yahoo, Google, and others will each have their time in the spot light.

This is from 2001. How on earth did you miss that?! Back then, Yahoo used Google for searches.

At first, it does sound funny that Yahoo! uses Google tools, but thinking about it, Yahoo! is a Web 2.0 frontrunner and one of the core technologies/philosophies about Web 2.0 is Mashups. So true to Web 2.0 spirit, they’re doing the right thing!

This whole Yahoo that Google’s thing sounded familiar, so I did some reading. Here is ‘n quote from The Google Story (ISBN 0-330-44005-5) by David A. Vise “On June 26, 2000 Google took a giant leap toward universal recognition by inking a pact with Yahoo to provide the Internet powerhouse with Google-generated search results.” According to the book Yahoo previously used Inktomi as its search-result provider.
