Do you know what that means?

Well, yes that bunnies were hopping all over the good ‘ol U S of A bringing enough candy and cash to last kids for weeks (what ever happened to real eggs?).

But more importantly then that it means that Lent is over. And I can go back to MyYahoo! And Google.

There is a reason why MyYahoo retains over 50% market share in the personalized home page world. Yes, while Netvibes is ubercool in its ajaxiness, it really is just a bit harder to use than MyYahoo! To read full articles often times requires an extra click and that extra click often time opens up a new window, not a tab, that then requires yet another click to close. I remained true to Netvibes over Lent but by the end of the day http://my.yahoo.com/ will once again be my default home page.

The Google decision is even easier. Truth be told I have been cheating on my commitment to stay away from Google. The difficulty in changing out the search engine in the browser bar was part of that. But I also found, contrary to my belief going in, that Google has the ability to uncover some things that other search engines do not. As a result I found myself going to Google more often than not.

It was a fun experiment that I might have to try again next year.
