Yahoo One up on Google in Asia

Hong Kong, India, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, and Taiwan have given the thumbs up to Yahoo while Australia, China, and New Zealand users prefer Microsoft to the much vaunted Google. The survey results would imply that the search stakes would just not a one horse race especially when Internet penetration in the most populous countries like India and China hits an upward trend..
