Plagiarism: Google vs. Yahoo
Wednesday, December 13, 2006 12:07Posted in category Software
The IE7 marketing sites on Google and Yahoo have been quite interesting! Nothing to do with the browser itself, but about google copying the Yahoo’s site design.
Jeremy Zawodny of Yahoo correctly points out that Google had initially plagiarized the Yahoo site design! He had posted some screenshots with the post to show the resemblance. hmm.. wicked!
Matt Cutts of Google apologizes for the incident (not on behalf of Google of course!) and goes on to say “In my personal opinion, it sucks when someone else copies a page layout without attribution”. His post doesn’t end there. Matt goes on to show how bad things are with an example of how Yahoo has been coping Google AdWords ad layouts!
