  Electricity around the world: everything about plugs, sockets, voltages, converters, etc. 

  http://users.pandora.be/worldstandards/electricity.htm

  * In Brazil there is no standard voltage. Most states use 127 V electricity (Acre, Amapá, Amazonas, Espírito Santo, Mato Grosso do Sul, Maranhão, Pará, Paraná, Rondônia, Roraima, Sergipe and Minas Gerais). ...

But the worldwide list does focus attention on some non-US based search players like Baidu and NHN, which owns Korea's Naver. It also shows Asia-Pacific as the region with the most searchers and searches happening. Here's the list, with figures rounded, showing the number of searches that happened in August 2007 on each search network: Google Sites: 37.1 billion (5 billion at YouTube) Yahoo Sites: 8.5 billion Baidu.com: 3.3 billion Microsoft Sites: 2.2 billion NHN Corporation: 2.0 billion eBay:1.3 billion Time Warner Network [AOL]: 1.2 billion Ask Network: 743 million Fox Interactive Media: 683 million Lycos, Inc: 441 million I find it odd that eBay is included in the list.
