while the entire industry harps on google and it's stock price, Yahoo is way ahead of the game with web 2.0. check them out and decide for yourselves. Comments welcome!!

If Netscape was the standard bearer for Web 1.0, Google is most certainly the standard bearer for Web 2.0, if only because their respective IPOs were defining events for each era.Google doesn’t have the image of being the most out-spoken company. Especially because of the what I associate with term “web 2.0”. Therefore i'd have to say; "sorry Tim your'e wrong" (at least this time). Google sure has made huge strides in the right direction by recently embracing blogging, rss aggregation, video on demand, DRM etc... but we tend to forget all about YAHOO. Yahoo IS taking the appropriate steps in making web 2.0 a reality. Believe me. they really are. Whats really intersting though is that a google search for the term web 2.0 lists yahoo as ranked number 2; and if you know about google ranking technologies, thay do have a pretty good algorithm (just kidding) for it. Much of the 1.0 is (or was) Google. Web 2.0 is gonna be yahoo, and I bet my lucky dollar on it. Another good comparision link is Google Labs vs Yahoo Research. mad money prediction : (after a couple of beers) :: as contrary to Jim Cramer; Boo Yaaahhh YHOO. sell sell sell; sell sell sell GOOG. AND hey !! I'm no expert in the NY stock market. Get ready to loose all your money if you wanna follow my ADVISE... I guess you can judge for yourselves. You know better right ? The older the better.... and this old article speaks volumes ;-) knock knock !! ?
UPDATE : Did you see the google stock price today (ie: January 18th 2006) ?? I'm getting good at predictions.... (just kidding) here's a screenshot of GOOG just 9 hours after this post ;-). Guess I should start my own TV show. Please do me a favor and do not compare it to YHOO today.... I'm gonna loose my chances of hosting my own TV show if you do ;-)UPDATE 2 :
