Just in terms of practicality and usability, I think Google crushes Yahoo! and MSN - their supposed “big competitors”.

Enjoy your opinions, as always. But, I’d like to address your comment:

“Never mind the fact that most of the “online ad” business is living on scraps compared with the Godzilla-like Google (GOOG).”

No doubt they’re the big player. They have done a tremendous job dominating in so many areas (perhaps phone service will be next?).

But, it doesn’t feel like we or others, such as AdBrite, are living on scraps. There’s plenty of opportunity still out there for everyone, advertising is still in its infancy online and the Googleplex - as it becomes more and more enormous - will continue to be challenged to stay ‘nimble’ in a rapidly evolving space.

All the best,
