Google and Yahoo made up a relatively small part of the 1.6 million square feet of exhibition space in Las Vegas.
Inside one of the halls, Google had a colourful stand, while outside Yahoo held court in a tent in the car park.
They proved one of the most popular destinations for many of the 130,000 people who came to CES to get a glimpse of the future.
The dominant theme at the show was how to make it easier for people to have access to the kind of content they want, when they want it and where they want it.
This is exactly where net services such as Google and Yahoo have succeeded.
Google announces its online video store, which it hopes will become a full-fledged digital warehouse of media.
As part of the store, it reached agreement with US network CBS to offer hit shows like CSI and Survivor for $1.99.
“We’re really the enabler,” said Google boss Eric Schmidt in a briefing with journalists at CES.
“The important thing is to get the content out. Digital information should be available on every device all of the time.”
