Sniffing out the Best in Show on Yahoo! Video Search

Some may argue that the �mockumentary� Best in Show did little to portray competitive dog showing in a positive light, but it can also be argued that the movie did a great deal to help bring the sport to mainstream America.

Well, welcome to the real thing. Westminster Kennel Club�s annual competition is next week, February 13-14. To help celebrate the show�s 130th year, Yahoo! Video Search has teamed up with WKC and USA Networks to bring you the action via featured competition video segments from on the Yahoo! Video Search front page.

The dog show action follows on the last weekend�s Super Bowl XL ad special. We�ll post links to videos of the competition shortly after they take place, so you can play them to your heart�s content, or share them with your dog and human friends. My personal favorite is the herding breed competition � such as this Belgian Malinois.

And of course, you can also use Yahoo! Video Search to find other dog videos to watch alongside the WKC show action. That�s it � we hope this special event gives the dog lover in you a little more to chew on (couldn�t resist that one).

Ah, found the Yahoo blog, hadn't noticed it before until I was looking up some stuff on the Y! 301 redirect issue.

Keep up the good work :)

So who really wins? It's odd that Google links to Wikipidia before Yahoo. However, I like Yahoo!'s number 1 result better than Google’s Wikipedia link.

Check out John Glenn Bio on both Engines (No Personalization)

Yahoo Results 1 "John Glenn Bio" = NASA Biography: John Herschel Glenn, Jr.

Google Results: John Glenn ... is a former American astronaut, Air Force fighter pilot, and politician.
According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John Glenn

I love the Yahoo result as it is. What's better than a John Glenn Bio from NASA.

Wikipedia is just too jumbled for me and I rarely click Wikipedia results for bios.

I like a bio written by experts like NASA

Yahoo Wins! But it's funny that it's the Wikipedia result is No. 1 on Google and not Yahoo!

Be careful Yahoo! I think you got the right result for “John Glenn Bio” - Don't mess it up by placing the Wikipedia result first.
