I've got exactly one contact on msn using a @yahoo.com account, and he's from the US
We've also got our own networking site, hyves.nl, which is much more famous here than facebook, most friends of mine not even having a facebook account, while having an active hyves page. (and from what I know about facebook, hyves is also much more user-friendly than facebook, and has much better privacy options)

Wonder where these differences come from

Must be a regional thing. I understand that "herbal" cigarettes are somewhat more legal there than here in the States?
