Google Finally Trumps Yahoo!

From Gregory Go, About.com GuideMay 19, 2008

comScore reports that Google websites grabbed the #1 spot from Yahoo! sites for the first time in history with 141 million unique visitors in April.

If I was a Microsoft shareholder (I'm not), I would be thanking my lucky stars the Yahoo! board turned down our very generous offer. Phew! That was a close one!
