Yahoo Launches Ad Campaign to Lure Searchers From Google

My impression is that even though most ppl use Google, most of them do not have a strong preference, they just happened to use Google because everyone says "google this" or because it is default in their browser. Only geeks like us care about page ranking algorithms, semantic graphs, amount of crawled data, all that technical stuff. Most consumers don't. Try skinning Yahoo! search to look like Google, hide the URL field, and I bet, 99.9% of the Google users won't be able to tell the difference.
