Seems a foregone conclusion that Google’s the best search engine on the web, but at this point, there’s not that much of a gap between the second-place engine, Yahoo, and the big G. This morning over at Lifehacker I confessed that amidst all my Gmail, Google Voice, Android, Google Docs, and GCal usage, I pointed my web search keyword at Yahoo to break Google’s monopoly on my personal data. Resistance isn’t futile!

I love the idea of taking the effort to “spread the love” in how you disperse your data across the web.
I’m gonna give this a whirl for a few weeks – while I haven’t given Yahoo a serious look in years, I do 99% of my searching from within FF’s search bar, and the results are all I care about, which seem to be pretty close in look and feel to Google’s.
The one thing that will be hard to live without though: Googlepedia, the wonderful little FF extension that would display the most relevant Wikipedia article on the right hand side of Google’s search results.

There’s a little link on the top of each Google page labeled LOG OUT.
Go ahead and click it. 🙂
