Yahoo! has done it again! There is great competition between them and Google these days. I tend to believe Yahoo! is winning.

Now you are right to think Google is the one pushing the envelope by coming out with fancy services like Google Maps and GMail which top what Yahoo! had in place for years. Which is exactly what needed to happen to get Yahoo! fired up again. They continue to answer what ever Google puts out and tend to do it in a big way.

Now it’s not that Yahoo! has better developers than Google, that line of thought is ridiculous. Both have some of the brightest engineers in the valley at their disposal. The big advantage is Yahoo! has really come to the understanding that time needs to be taken up front to get the user experience just right!

The new Maps services is just another great example.

Update: TechCrunch has a pretty good review.
