I know it sounds odd, but I think that people make an association between google and ebay because they use the same colors (and ebay is doing very well). Here is the thing about both google and yahoo; they don't have any products that someone who is very smart can't improve on (they have to tangible patents, just patents on concepts). An 18-year old can come up with a new search technology and invade the marketplace (just as google did). Furthermore, Microsoft wants to crush them both. Gmail might help google, but that is only if Microsoft doesn't give hotmail uses 2gigs beforehand. Google's brand image is good, but not worth 30 billion.
