Search Engine Deathmatch
I’m not sure that this combined Yahoo and Google search really has any use except for comparing the ways in which your name appears when searched for. But it does hold a sort of surprising fascination.
Personally, I think it this because I like the idea of things competing to please me. And if there ever was a way to make two search engines “rumble” this is it (all that’s missing is some snappy West Side Story music, and switchblades. They should get right on that).
Despite the nifty concept, they loose it when they try to make the icon clever:
From Lifehacker, which is good for learning about neat stuff.

I am bothered by the exclamation point in the middle of the word...

Excellent point, Dan. But don't you think that if they put the Yahoo! exclamation point at the end, it would look like Yahoo! had swallowed up Google? And that's not it. They are equals, like peanut butter and jelly.
