Find a Local Yahoo!—or a Global One

You’re familiar with the main U.S. Yahoo! site—but did you know that Yahoo!
offers regionalized sites for more than 20 different countries, as well as local
sites for thousands of communities throughout the United States?

Local Yahoo!
Yahoo! isn’t just a big national site, it’s also a network of thousands of local sites,
customized to the events and listings of local communities across the United
States. You can access any local site from the Yahoo! Get Local page (local
.yahoo.com).
Each local site includes a variety of region-specific features, including links to
local lottery results, maps and driving directions, local news headlines and
sports scores, weather forecasts, and a local Web directory.
World Yahoo!
If you’re a U.S. resident, the main Yahoo! site is a great site. But if you live outside
the U.S., you could get frustrated at the American-centric site listings—and
if you don’t speak English, you might not be able to use the site at all!
For that reason, Yahoo! has been busy creating a network of World Yahoo!s,
complete with country-specific site listings and pages created in the native language.
Figure 1-12 shows one of these sites, Yahoo! Mexico.
