Yahoo.com is Asia's Most Popular Website

Yahoo.com is not only the most popular web site in the US but also the top choice in Asia, leading in markets like Japan, India, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Singapore. Microsoft and Google follow as the second and third most popular sites in the region, respectively. US web companies are investing more in Asia to tap into the region's rapidly growing economies like China and India. However, internet usage in Asia lags behind the global average, with South Korea having the highest rate at 65% and India and China at the bottom with 3% and 9%, respectively. Yahoo operates in China and Japan through partnerships with local companies. The Financial Express writes Yahoo.com is Asia’s favorite website here.
