Yahoo Answers Grows Globally

Lesley Kao, Sr. Product Manager of International Yahoo! Answers, reminds us all on the Yahoo Search Blog that Yahoo Answers has added to its International expansion with nine new markets in five new languages, including Argentina, Mexico, Italy and Google Orkut’s backyard, Brazil. From the YSearchBlog:

For months now, many of you have been wondering when Yahoo! Answers would be available in Spanish, French, and other languages. Well…. ask and ye shall receive!

We’ve expanded our international presence to nine additional markets and in five new languages. In addition to our existing sites in US, UK, Canada, Australia, and India, we now have Yahoo! Answers in: Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, and Singapore.

In these newly launched markets, where the number of documents in the web index is simply not as large as the English-speaking markets, Yahoo! Answers is an especially powerful means of tapping into the global community to share and exchange knowledge and to change what it means to search.
