Then, I saw this site where it compares both interface designs. Very detail.
As Google and Yahoo! continue their volley of product offerings, I thought it would be useful to compare the interface design solutions each company employed to solve similar user needs. In other words: how does Yahoo’s version of a product (Maps, Local Search, Image Search, etc.) compare to Google’s? Though some product offerings are virtually indistinguishable (Web Search, Image Search), others differ significantly (Groups, Product Search).
Below is a summary of comparison I did after reading from Forbes.com. Sorry, I forgot to jot down the link from the site.
Google | Yahoo |

So tell me, do you prefer Google or Yahoo?
