Go figure, Yahoo rates Myrtle Beach over Hawai'i sites
Advertiser Staff
Maybe the Hawaii Tourism Authority ought to pay people to stuff ballot boxes.Mounting a voting campaign may be one way to explain how Myrtle Beach in South Carolina was tabbed as the world's best beach in a vote by Yahoo Inc. users.
Yes, that Myrtle Beach, which had a low temperature of 49 degrees today.
At least Hawai'i occupied two spots in the list featured on Yahoo's travel site. The list of the world's top 10 beaches was featured on a Yahoo! Travel Web page sponsored by the state of South Carolina. It makes you wonder how Foley Beach, South Carolina, missed being ranked.
In fourth place was Ka'anapali, while Honolulu occupied the fifth spot in the annual list selected by users of Yahoo, the most-visited U.S. Internet site.
