It is 10am Monday, someone is still in the bed.
"Wake up, Yahoo, Wake up"
"Who is it?" Yahoo asked.
"This is Google."

I used Yahoo since 1995. First I used their search engine. Then Yahoo map, Yahoo mail, My Yahoo, Yahoo Photo, briefcase, etc ... however, there is not much new development in Yahoo in recent years. I still use My Yahoo frequently. I have to keep my Yahoo email account. But some of my friends already forward all their Yahoo mail to Gmail.
Yeah, Gmail, the Google. Other than search and mail, Google is doing a lot of good stuff that dominated by Yahoo traditionally. Ever try Google Map!? You will feel Yahoo Map is for your grandma. Google is waking up Yahoo (or shaking up ...). In fact, from the gossip in the Valley, I know Yahoo is doing a lot of tech development under table now. They are activly hiring. I won't name what exactly the stuff they hire people to do (although I know a little). Basically Yahoo is going to upgrade their existing web service.
Yahoo may not come up any brand new innovative web service. But the competition between Yahoo and Google will surely make web service (and local job market, yeah!) exciting again.
