Yahoo has debuted its Chinese-language service Yisou.
Yahoo China, the Chinese unit of the Sunnyvale, CA firm, said the launch of Yisou, which means “No. 1 search” in English, is the latest move in its efforts to become the top player in China.
The country has 79.5 million Internet users, second only to the U.S. A survey by the China Internet Network Information Center reportedly showed search was the second most frequently used Internet-based function, next only to e-mails.
