It's for the kind of thing that you don't want bookmark with delicious, but want to share with your friends. The user base will certainly be different, too. The user from Yahoo Meme will have the same profile from MySpace.

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...
What does Portugal have to do with Brazil?

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)
Targeted only to Portuguese ... how this would kick off Twitter?

"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.
