I think the primary difference here is that Google is offering to host
multiple libraries, even libraries not of their creation - except of course
YUI, a product of their competitor.  That coupled with Google's slightly
more extensive hosting infrastructure might count this as a one-up (don't
get me wrong - I'm not a Google stockholder, employee or irrational zealot).

Anyway - not surprising that they took the opportunity to try to best YaHoo
at it's own game, and I guess it's win-win, and it's just a matter of
determining the correct source based upon what libraries you have selected
for your use.

Hi Howard,

Noticed this earlier this week and is nice of google and noticed that 
Yahoo was not on the list but that is likely because Yahoo announced 
this service in early last year.
It's nice because we can release our plugins without distributing these 
libraries or requiring a user to copy/install the files.
