14 DAY TRIAL // Google is one of the most popular search engines on the Internet. Yahoo is the same. Google is a company that tries to offer more and more services to obtain popularity and money. Similar to Yahoo. So, it's obvious we're facing a battle: Google vs. Yahoo. But this challenge went beyond the Internet. Where? To the sports field.
Matt Cutts, Google employee, posted a message on his blog to present the situation of the matches: "Google's mission statement is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. I've heard that Yahoo's unofficial motto is to work hard and play hard. Given those two mottos, which company do you think is going to be better at sports? Oh hell yes, I believe it will be Yahoo. If you want world chess or puzzle champions, we are your company. If you want intramural sports, I'd bet on Yahoo."
"Sure, it's a sweeping generalization, but let's look at some sports. Recently Yahoo! and Google played tennis against each other. Who took that one? Yahoo did. And a couple months ago, these flyers turned up at the Googleplex as Yahoo and Google squared off in softball. I don't know who won that match-up, but I'd be willing to bet a shiny quarter that Yahoo did. On the other hand, Google can acquit itself pretty well at some activities. At SES San Jose, Vanessa Fox suited up in a sumo wrestling suit and took down her Yahoo! opponent, 3-1," he added.
It looks like Vanessa Fox, also a Google employee, is really talented at sumo. As a reply, she said: "Yeah, Danny was kind enough to omit a description of my fantastic bowling ability (or lack thereof). It's a good thing I'm so good at sumo."
