Check out Yahoo!'s latest attempt to dethrone Google: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://instant.search.yahoo.com/">http://instant.search.yahoo.com/</a><!-- m -->

Results as you type. It's still buggy, and it doesn't always return the best results (if any) but it's pretty neat to play with.

I wasn't real impressed but maybe it's 'cause Google has me spoiled. I've used a customized "My Yahoo" start page for years and it's gotten consistently better and more manipulatable so I am a Yahoo fan so I'd like to see the new search feature do well for them.

They also have an upgraded email function (in limited beta release) that I can't wait to try. It's still browser based but llegedly it works a lot like MS Outlook and has drag & drop functionality and instant page loads. I've read some user reviews that say it's better than Gmail & that's saying a lot!

Then again, Google's new custom start page is pretty damn sweet and definitely worth checking out if you haven't already. I wonder how long it'll be before the only player in the game is Yahoogle?
