Seth Godin on the Difference Between Yahoo and Google in 1999
Ed Kohler
Seth Godin reflected on the difference between Yahoo and Google's homepages in 1999 and why it mattered during a Feb speach at the Googleplex:

"What happened was geeks and nerds and early adopters and people like me: the ones who are always getting bugged by their friends about how to use the Internet - like, 'What's that "E" thing with the planet thing circling around it mean?'

We sent our friends to Google. because we knew they weren't going to come back and bother us later. Because if you sent someone to Google, they knew what to do. If you sent them to Yahoo, they had no clue. So we stopped sending our friends to Yahoo and we started sending them to Google."
