Tip: With any online resource you try, you should:

To find a "native" resource, you should check how popular that resource is within the native country. For example, go to search.yahoo.com and enter the following long search string for your native resource:
link:http://www.native_resource.domain -site:native_resource.domain domain:.2_letter_country_code .
Here is an example of such a search: link:http://www.yandex.ru -site:yandex.ru domain:.ru. This shows how many web pages with .ru domains include a hyperlink to yandex.ru, but exclude those pages already hosted at any yandex.ru site. This is a very important tip, because it helps you discover which resources are the most "popular" (=useful?) as far as the local population is concerned.
