Also, I hope you're not suggesting I am too far up Google's butt. You might want to read my blog on a regular basis before drawing that conclusion :-) Fair enough, except I am comparing search with search, not search with web properties – Google is clearly whiping Yahoo’s butt in that comparison.

Too often search-watchers are in awe of Google's apparent search prowess while forgetting their inferiority in everything else especially original content. And too often they are put up on a pedestal (compared to another's footstool) as a result.
