Maybe that's part of their plan for managing userbase growth

#6Targeted only to Portuguese ... how this would kick off Twitter?
it's probably a smart move from Yahoo -- brazil is known for adopting 'lesser' stuff (orkut instead of facebook, fotolog instead of flickr/similars), some video sites instead of youtube (although youtube is also popular here)
launching a twitter for the brazilian market is a rather obvious idea.
Although twitter is catching up real quick in brazil, so maybe it's a bit late...

Where are you getting Portugal from? Portuguese (the language spoken in Brazil)?
Clicking the "acesse"* link brings me to Yahoo's clearly Brazilian portal.
* which I think might be spelled "accesse" with two C's in Portugal (like acção->ação [action] changed from Portugal to its former colony)

Brazil is the world's largest population of Portuguese speakers -- 190 million in Brazil, compared to 10 million in Portugal.

"Lesser" stuff?
Orkut was dominated by Brazilians in 2004. That is at a time when Friendster was the social media darling and Facebook was still called TheFacebook. When Fotolog was huge in Brazil, Flickr was still a MMOG.
You just can't say that Brazil adopted "lesser" stuff, when the "other" stuff didn't even exist in a comparable form.
