What would the internet be like if Yahoo had purchased Google back in 2002?  It may seem like a crazy thought, but according to Wired magazine, it was a lot closer to happening than most people ever realized.

According to the article, Yahoo instead tried to compete with Google, and we all know how that has turned out.  :)   The few people that now use Yahoo’s search are people that use other Yahoo services and find it convenient.

I’m a huge fan of Google, their vision, and the simplicity of their services.   I can’t imagine an internet where Google is being confined to someone else’s vision.   Plus, the competition between the two is a huge benefit to the users like us!

So, what do you think the internet would be like with Yahoo owning Google?
