I heard about this...which I have to say it was pretty funny. I'm sure google, like everything else they've done, will resort to the "monkey-see, monkey-do" tactic and remove yahoo from their somewhat neat google earth application.

Whoa, wait a minute. "somewhat neat google earth application." ??? I would like to reference an e-mail from one "Oz" dated July 25, 2005: "Seriously anyone seen google earth? It’s pretty sweet." We have gone from pretty sweet to somewhat neat. Once it's on a public blog, we aren't so willing to admit Google's superiority. :-)

Superiority? I Think not. You asked me to quote my sources from my previous email,in which i stated
"Time spent on Yahoo outpaced time spent on Google by more than 9 to 1, according to Majestic. And it's "stickier" services like IM that cause Web users to spend more time on Yahoo than they do on Google."

Here ya go. This deserves a headline all by itself, not just a comment..however the inefficiencies of your blog I must deal with at a later time.

Oh I see, so Yahoo counts every minute that a teenager is chatting as "time spent" on their site? That's weak.

I have my Gmail notifier on 24/7, so does Google get to say I'm on their site for 43,200 minutes per month? I wouldn't put it past Yahoo to try it...

Last time I checked a unique visitor was a unique visitor. Age is nothing but a number my young friend!

Another inefficiency: should I be keeping my list else where? Why do we have to login to two different systems..one for your tech blog, and one for your personal blog. Maybe I've set my goals too lofty, or maybe spending too much time on google and slacking!
