in Global by Design now in 25 languages on Global by Design
Hi Alex,
I'm sure you're spot on regarding the quality. But what interests me most about this widget is the ease at which people can add the language-specific RSS feeds. I haven't come across a widget like this yet. Have you?
Also, I'll have a brief Q&A; with the developer of Mloovi shortly.

Hi Neij,
You're right about the name. I just emailed the founder of the service and he confirmed that the name comes from the Czech word "to talk." I'll have more from him later...

in Google Translate is growing up on Global by Design
Hi Debra,
I just added a new widget that leverages Google translate but also provides local-language feeds. It's the awkwardly named "Mloovi" widget on the right. Please let me know what you think...

in Google perpetuates the American .com myth on Global by Design
Hi Augusto,
I agree that Google does a great deal to support ccTLDs and that you can customize its search engine to direct users to specific sites based on their location and language. But that's not the point I was trying to make.
I'm not discounting the historical association between .com and the US, which is why I think Google.com functions the way it does today. What I do think is important is that Google host a US-specific site at Google.us, instead of simply redirecting back to Google.com.

Thanks Zac -- I'm not sure if the Google Translate module can be modified, but I do need to migrate to the new Analytics code.

Arnaud,
Thank you for alerting me to this -- you are correct. Algeria needs to be made larger and I will fix this when we reprint the poster.

in Nike Launches a Splash Global Gateway on Global by Design
Patricia,
I'm not sure what you mean by taking off all the words off the Web pages. I certainly don't mean for that to occur. And you can use the Google Webmaster tools site to ensure that your site is properly indexed. A global gateway page by itself does not necessarily have to result in decreased SEO performance.
One thing I should mention though is that geolocation can play an important role in global navigation, though there should still be a backup visual solution in place as well.
