Sure, Yahoo! does some reasonable stuff with their home page for each country, for example I regularly visit Yahoo7 for TV guides as an example, but for all the cool Web 2.0, stuff Yahoo sucks unless you’re in the States or Canada. Now if only Google had bought Flickr we might be able to get a decent map and satellite/ map shot:
