Week 4, About Yahoo!

Yahoo is a famous search engine. Yahoo has a lot of sub-site to serve any users who are in any continent. For example, sub-site like Yahoo HK, Yahoo UK or Yahoo Greece etc. I found something interesting related to their difference between Yahoo HK and Yahoo.com.

I tried to use W3C CSS Validation Service to check Yahoo HK and Yahoo.com these two sites. The results of Yahoo HK appear as invalidates and Yahoo.com appear as validates.

I suppose in the same organization have same requirements, regulations, guidelines or rules to design this web. Although the outlook of these two web pages seems similar but the standards between them consist lots of dissimilarity. I think culture is the major point to distinguish both web sites. Western culture emphasizes the standard or guiding the rules or procedures to work. But Hong Kong culture is opposite.
