SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- November 3, 1997 -- Yahoo! Inc. (NASDAQ:YHOO) today announced the launch of its localized guides for the Scandinavian countries of Denmark (http://www.yahoo.dk), Norway (http://www.yahoo.no) and Sweden (http://www.yahoo.se). The new Yahoo!Æ sites provide users in each of the countries a comprehensive guide of local Web sites in the local languages, plus access to the main Yahoo! site (http://www.yahoo.com), the world's most popular guide to the Internet. The new Scandinavian sites represent the latest offerings in Yahoo!'s series of world properties, which currently include Canada, Japan, France, UK & Ireland, Germany, Australia & New Zealand, Korea and Yahoo! in Asia (a mirror site based in Singapore). Yahoo.com was recently ranked No. 1 in its category among business and household users by Media Metrix, having the highest unduplicated overall reach among both audiences (August 1997 survey).

"Yahoo! is continuing to tap into world regions with high Internet usage like Scandinavia to expand its global network of properties," said Heather Killen, managing director of Yahoo! Europe. "With the extensive resources available to us via Yahoo! in the United States combined with partnerships forged in the European markets, we are clearly ahead in bringing together the best Net content for each region."
