Talk:Yahoo! Japan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] IM?

I've noticed that various IM clients list support for Yahoo! Japan. Can we get some info on that? Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 21:52, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Yahoo! =/= Yahoo! Japan

Any mention that Yahoo! Japan is completely separated from the rest of Yahoo!? Yahoo! logins from other regions won't work on Yahoo! Japan and vice versa (i.e. a login from Yahoo! Philippines will work on Yahoo! UK, but not on Yahoo! Japan). Also, Yahoo! Music Japan is affiliated with Apple's iTunes service (and formerly Sony's Mora) while Yahoo! Music US once used its own Yahoo! Music Unlimited and now uses Real Networks' Rhapsody service. There may be more differences, including how Yahoo! Auctions exists in Japan but not in the U.S. (in the complete opposite of eBay).

Bottom line: Yahoo! Japan is Yahoo! in name only.

We probably need a source for all of this though. --Geopgeop (T) 11:03, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
