Yahoo vs. Google Round One Ding Ding...

What? Google has fallen into second place to Yahoo? Is there a new factor in what people look for in a search engine in today's society?
Actually Yahoo has taken a step up due to it's international affairs. Yahoo Japan dominates the websearch market with 56.5 percent of use compared to Google's 33.7 percent.
Since Google can't take this lying down, it wasted no time in updating its splashpage for Japan giving it links to gmail, youtube, and other services found on the internet in attempt to win back their patrons.
Google has also stepped into trying for the first time adding publicity stunts to attempt to win over customers. One stunt in particular allowed passersby to sail and float around Mountainview, Calif. with the help of 2,500 balloons.

Well it is. Nonetheless, I still sense blood in the water. There's just too much money chasing too few ad dollars. Whenever this has happnned..

Maybe they should bring back balloon boy for this!
But really, it sounds like this rivalry shows that the internet age has surely fallen upon us. Websites and their broadcasters must now step up their efforts to get known to internet viewers, as well as to advertising agencies, which are looking for new sites to show their products.
