In contrast, type 'www.google.com' from France, and you get redirected to www.google.fr. Same with Google's other local sites. So I would suspect that anyone from other countries who had heard of Yahoo just typed in 'www.yahoo.com' and got the US site and have continued with it ever since.

Maybe a home page (independent of yahoo) which redirects people to the yahoo group page would catch people who search from google, altavista etc. I've just tried, and a search for fairfield life on altavista finds the group page at number 4 (not bad) but google doesn't seem to find it at all. But of course, they could do that directly, and may be in the habit of going to http://groups.yahoo.com/ if their national equivalent didn't have a very wide list of offerings.

I'm a reasonably savvy internet user and it took me a while to work out that yahoo offers different groups in different countries. Hmmm, does too much TM make you stupid, or is it just me?
