Someone mentioned about this to me last night so I checked it out today. Afetr looking at the stats over at YahooGroups, I found out that the Philippines is actually the second largest country using the Yahoo! service.
India came in first with 27,080 YahooGroups the biggest on their list had 12,4544 members. The Philippines came in next with just 10,777, the largest account having 4,541 members.
Completing the top 10 are as follows:
3. Indonesia (7,836)
4. Turkey (5,043)
5. United Kingdom (4,511)
6. Pakistan (4,462)
7. Egypt (3,376)
8. Iran (3,199)
9. Australia (2,657)
10. United States (2,548)
Interesting to learn that the top 4 users by country are from Asia with the UK, Australia and US completing the odd mix.
very interesting. Many of those may be from eGroups before it was acquired and merged to Yahoo! Clubs. Then there was another ML which came before eGroups and was acquired by eGroups (can’t remember its name anymore).
I remember there are many Filipinos and Asians from eGroups and that other ML service that eGroups acquired (which led some to believe that it was the reason Yahoo! acquired eGroups, coz Yahoo! Clubs isn’t doing good against eGroups.)
Mga bano kasi sa technology ang mga pinoy…. hehehehe. ü

Bano? Well, maybe – the biggest Pinoy groups I know of are about you-know-what.
About the Indians, they are invading my tech groups!

That is interesting indeed! I believe a lot of the groups are hold overs from the OneList, eGroups days
It is probably from to the outsourced SEO spammers building backlinks.
