It's called quality control! But the freebies will give you a good laugh if that's what you're after. Have fun!

These free online translators are all right if all you want is the gist of the text. If, however, you are trying to attract new clients, the machine translated results will quite often have the opposite effect. They often produce pure gibberish. There still nothing to replace a human translator.

I'm happy to see that I'm not the only person who thinks Guy Kawasaki's tweets amount to spam! I stopped following him because he clearly is all about self-promotion, and he is not adding value to the conversation.

The Good Captain may be a creative way to use twitter but boy, is it annoying for anyone who really likes to read!

Makes total sense. I will retweek it right now!

Re: When Do You Need Translations

Janine — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 10:31:10 -0000

We often recommend that our clients begin by translating the most important content on their websites, including the FAQs as you suggest. When they begin to see results they expand the number of pages that are available in languages other than English. This allows them to measure the results and manage their budget.

I'm very optimistic, at least today. I voted this morning and the energy at the polling place was palpable. I live in a very Democratic precinct and everyone who was voting was very happy and optimistic!

I know what I'll be drinking after work today!

Re: 12 Spanish Grapes for 12 Spanish Wishes - Catavino’s last post of 2008

When I lived in Madrid, eating seedless grapes was considered cheating!

One of my resolutions for 2009 is to drink more fino. Sherry is (finally) becoming more available in the U.S. so I look forward to buying bottles that aren't covered in dust. Today's NY Times has a good article for sherry novices

Happy New Year!

Oh, to be able to eat a paella whever you want...

And let's not forget U.S. Hispanics, who are more likely to engage in social networks than the general market: http://latinobusinessreview.blogspot.com/2008/1...

Bredesen has never taken a salary as governor and I believe he didn't take one when he was the mayor of Nashville.

Todd Palin is playing Pygmalion to his wife's Galatea. He seems to be the real power behind the throne (or is he the wizard behind the curtain?).

My question is, why aren't the two middle daughters in school? I keep seeing them at campaign events. They'll be just like the older two with no chance of a college education.

I can relate! Please let us know if you finally decide to write one.

I'm with Wendy and Seamus - the simpler, the better. Plus, if I lose a paper to do list I haven't lost an expensive device that I'll have to remember to replace!

Bob Burg makes a great point about adding value to relationships and being "more authentic". This is an area where small businesses can have a real advantage vs. larger competitors. Small companies can also be more flexible to test new initiatives because there aren't multiple layers of bureaucracy that limit change.

I find it interesting that both you and Chris Brogan place LinkedIn lower on the priority list that twitter. We've actually gotten more business through LinkedIn, although twitter can be more educational as well as a bigger waste of time.

Re: 12 Things to Stop Doing in 2009

Janine — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 15:55:05 -0000

i like the focus on trying new things in #s 1 and 2 on the "Things to do" list. New approaches, new ways of thinking, and exposure to new people help us steer clear of Einstein's definition of "insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

Re: Be Wary of Creating Pedestals

Janine — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 15:00:00 -0000

You may spend most of your time making connections, but at least one of the illustrious names you mention is nothing more than a spammer on twitter in my opinion. You collect and share information while some of the others collect followers. Since "Pride goeth before a fall", I expect we'll see some of the pedestals will be toppled soon.

Damn right she should be fired. The woman is clearly out of her depth and NO ONE should be comfortable with her a heartbeat away from the presidency. We deserve better.

Re: How Should I Utilize LinkedIn Differently than Twitter?

Janine — Thu, 21 May 2009 15:22:26 -0000

"Connect on LinkedIn. Gain mindshare on Twitter." That's the best summary I've seen about how to use these very different social networks.

The gynecologist, no question. They don't speak to you as if you were six years old. Dentists out there, take note! Your reputations are at stake.

If you do need to print something, use recycled paper. Most people ignore the fact that paper has two sides.
