Yahoo War -- Pit Two Terms Against Each Other To See Who Wins By Count

We've written many, many times before that search result counts can mean little in terms of actual popularity. With that caveat in mind, have fun with Yahoo War. Enter two terms and get back the counts for each term, highest count wins. Technorati versus Feedster? It's Technorati. Google versus Yahoo? It's Yahoo. (But do it manually on Google, and it's Google that wins, 232 million to 168 million). Danny Sullivan versus Gary Price? Sorry, Gary -- I win. But hey, I've also got references to Danny Sullivan the race car driver to help me out.
