Google Fixes Yahoo-Copied Splash Page…

Last evening, TechCrunch (and others) reported that Google had apparently “lifted” or stole the Yahoo! Internet Explorer 7 promo page. Robert Scoble has a good overview of the situation.
This morning, Matt Cutts, Google employee, posted a v…

i think this is a great PR move. unintentional as it may be. 30+ comments about a redesign of an IE toolbar? they got confirmed techies to discuss this non-item for free. i hope they did it intentionally.

Yahoo! and Google Both Suck …

There\’s plenty of chatter about this whole Google copying a Yahoo! splash page for Microsoft IE7 (see TechCrunch, Scobleizer, Tailrank). Reading the \”debate\” between Matt Cutts of Google and Jeremy Zawodny of Yahoo! I can only come to this con…

God damn, who cares? Seriously… why does this matter? It doesn’t. One story was more than enough. Let’s move on to something that’s interesting.

[...] Google cara de pau Além de virar a casaca apoiando o IE7, copiou na cara dura o estilo de página do Yahoo, reformulando a dita cuja algumas horas depois. [...]

Patricia – while Google stock is flat today, Yahoo is up 2%!

Are we at the beginning stages of SearchMania I? Might be a fun bracket to setup. That Jeeves (oh wait he was fired) really packs a mean right uppercut!

I agree with the idea that this doesn’t really matter. I doubt it’s affected their stock price at all – does anybody know if it has? I did IR for a long time – big things hurt stocks, usually. I’d be surprised to hear that the error had (though the blog coverage might)

“How was google’s stock price affected?” – Ken

Thats the big question – but it definitely had to hurt.

Michael: Agreed. I do appreciate the coverage, for which you have valid reasons. It’s appropriate for non-traditional media to be covering such issues. I doubt any of us should expect developments beyond what has already occurred.

When the whole world is watching you closely, you cannot afford to do such mistakes (though it is silly). And when you set high standards, you are expected to keep up the level. Probably these have made this a big story.

Faisal: I’m not speaking in the defence of anyone here, but honestly, such things are hard to filter, even for technology giants. In fact, corporate giants are most susceptible to such copyright issues, as their designing and publishing procedures become increasingly decentralised. This is just a matter of a lack of individual integrity. For all you know, it could have been an innocent error. But it’d be a mistake to associate such occurrences directly with the companies, which have themselves taken a tough stance against piracy. Let’s cut them some slack, shall we?

Joe – from my experience, I don’t think we’ll see any apology, and the legal teams will certainly not be getting involved. I have no idea if MSM will pick this up or not. It was interesting only because of the ongoing rivalry between Google and Yahoo.
