Google Copies Yahoo, Yahoo Copies Google

More fun than watching readers complain that my article on Google’s click-fraud was straight from their PR department, is watching Yahoo accuse Google of copying, then watching Google making the same accusation.

First, Yahoo’s Jeremy Zawodny points out how Google copied Yahoo’s promo page for Internet Explorer 7.

Then, Google’s Matt Cutts suggests those in photoshop-houses shouldn’t throw stones.

Meanwhile, I’ve not seen anyone suggesting IE 7 is simply copying Firefox. ;-)

    I find it amusing to read Cutts response on how yahoo copied them before.

    I find his response really sad.

    cheers!

    It’s almost liking two young kids fighting…

    “Google! Don’t copy Yahoo’s work”
    “Well, he copied me first!”
