Comments on: Yahoo Groups weakness obvious and embarassing http://www.makeyougohmm.com/20060329/3089/ Technology, music, video, art, news, reviews and muse on the web Wed, 08 Oct 2008 06:46:53 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2 By: Sterling Camden http://www.makeyougohmm.com/20060329/3089/#comment-63531 Sterling Camden Wed, 29 Mar 2006 20:10:50 +0000 http://www.makeyougohmm.com/20060329/3089/#comment-63531 Kinda funny that Yahoo can't get search to work in Groups -- I mean, they're a search engine company, right? Vanity search for me brings up my sites on Yahoo about the same as in Google or MSN. Ask mixes in a lot more unrelated sites. However, when searching for a product name (one that I have been heavily involved in developing), almost all of the first two pages of links in Google were relevant (including a couple of links to me), while Yahoo couldn't find either me, the company who developed the product, or the product itself in the first two pages. The name of the product is "Synergy/DE", and it looks like Yahoo favored instances of the word "synergy" while Google put occurrences of "Synergy/DE" on top.
