Backroom Deals, Secrecy Make Google A Fallen Hero
Greetings everyone! We your team at www.translationpeople.com are pleased to share an article with you today that will shine the light on some of the things that are causing Google to lose face with its customers.

Enjoy your day.

Backroom Deals, Secrecy Make Google A Fallen Hero
Jason Lee Miller | Staff Writer
Do Backroom Deals, Secrecy Make Google A Fallen Hero?
On its way up, Google rarely talked about anything--especially its algorithm. The more the company let fans into its world (that is, once the company learned of the power of branding), the more carefully the Googtopia narrative was built, a narrative with a kind of Justice League ring to it--Don't be evil, be good, be transparent, be groovy, man. With recent maneuvers one wonders if those days are over.
The first chink in Google's moral armor came about the same time the company went public, when Sergey Brin, faced with the realities of doing business in China, repealed the Don't Be Evil policy. Sometimes, one might proffer, business requires a little evil to survive. The boardroom ain't exactly Sunday School.
Some time later, thanks to some either uninformed or unapproved chatter from up high in the legal policy ranks, it appeared that Google was reconsidering its stance on Net Neutrality. Those words were taken back post haste by those who understand public relations better than lawyers. We troubledly pondered beneath that brief flicker of doubt if good companies going public meant that shareholder demands would outweigh the company's commitment to certain core values and need for geek credibility, if entangling alliances as meganational corporations collided and dealt in the online space would crush Google's popular Internet romanticism.
No, no, there's Vinton Cerf still pounding the Net Neutrality pulpit.
And there again is Google playing hardball with AT&T and Verizon on the wireless spectrum front. Open access, open applications, open everything, and Google came out as the Internet's white knight fighting for public policy that was actually good for the public instead of a handful of gatekeepers. Even there, though, was the creeping suspicion that's Google's business interests happened to coincide with our own idealism.
There was a time when Google seemed happy even to litigate--Eric Schmidt in Japan comes to mind, speaking on how lawsuits are just a modern day business expense--and turned up its righteous nose at complaints over Google Book Search, over merely snippeting and linking to Associated Press content, with image indexing precedents in the back pocket. Google's fights were our fights, and the Web grew because of them.
But then something changed, and it seems to have started to change about the same time Google bought YouTube. Those lawsuits Google didn't mind so much started coming in billions rather than millions thanks to Viacom's aggressive litigation. Google boldly stepped to the courtroom rather than settle--how could they settle with so much on the line?--but since then the company seems to have shrunk away from such battles.
Next the AP gets a deal. Then book publishers. Google, our champion, then became beholden to the dreaded DMCA notice, shoveled out of entertainment company lawyer offices and into the broken URLs of shallow-pocketed fair-use believers all over the Net. The sudden timidity was new, even shocking. Where was Google when Congress handed the entertainment industry even more power last summer? Well, it's been said for some time Google evolved from search company to media company. Fair use, even when applied to indexing or user-generated content (Google's two biggest presences) is no longer the most prudent business option, and those fights are best left to nonprofits and the academia from which Google spawned.
Part of that could be the economy, which has GOOG stock at disappointing levels despite killing estimates, which has led to layoffs, cuts in food budgets, and--quelle horreur--Google reportedly stocking only domestic beer for Friday beer bashes. Lots of companies are sacrificing in this economy, and Google's sudden fear of litigation could be part of that also.
But what's more disturbing for those of who've idolized Google as a company for so long is the marked increase in quiet maneuvering and apparent backroom deals--which always get leaked, of course. Apple and Google in secret anti-Microsoft, no-touch-screen-for-the-Google-Phone cahoots, for example, or Google deleting Blogspot posts without notice or explanation at the music industry's request, or, our digital paperless hero, filing on paper only with SEC about engineer layoffs in a lame attempt to keep it out of the press--which one can no longer read on Google's special AP news page.
Sigh. Is this the end of our transparent, fight-the-good-fight Justice League Google and the beginning of more Microsoft-like, fight-the-good-fight-only-if-it-makes-fiduciary-sense meganational media super-giant Google? Have we lost another one to the almighty faceless shareholder?
It may be a necessary evolution that a company like Googlewhom we love for various reasons, not the least of which is they still do good things via Google.org and other outletsbecome more like Microsoft if the company expects to compete with Microsoft. But we hope, once the economic smoke clears, Google returns to that turpitude which propelled it to Microsoft competitor status, to that which drove Microsoft mad with jealousy, despite being very unlike Microsoft.
That's the Google we love, hope, and root for.

Not Enough Languages on the Web?
Top of the day to you out there! I'm Donna J. Jodhan, president of www.translationpeople.com.
Do you know what the three most spoken languages on the Internet are? Well, I am here to tell you.
Do you know what the three most spoken languages on the Internet are? Well, I am here to tell you.
Not Enough Languages on the Web?
Ever wondered what are the three most spoken languages on the Internet? Have you ever stopped to think how you can use this info to your advantage? Most important of all, have you ever given thought to how you can use this info to beat your competitors to the punch?
In today's fast-moving markets, it is really important for you to be able to identify the three most spoken languages on the Internet so that you will not be wasting precious resources marketing your products and services. If you have this knowledge safely tucked away in your back pocket, the next step is for you to develop marketing strategies aimed at specific types of consumers in specific parts of the world.
Having this type of info at your fingertips will allow you to utilize your time more effectively. You will be able to develop more effective marketing strategies, design products and services that will be targeted to consumers who are seeking your business, and reach those consumers who can offer you real demand. Not having this info at your fingertips will only serve to make you just an ordinary company that is not sure which markets are real.
Think of it like this: If you are able to determine the three top languages spoken on the Internet, then you can chart a course that is more accurate and concise. If you do not have this vital info, then your chart will probably look like a map that is filled with crisscrossing lines; unreadable, confusing, cluttered, and a mish mash of squiggles. I am going to close by giving you a reference to check out. One that will provide you with the three top languages spoken on the Internet.

Bloggers: How Much Excerpting Is Fair Use?
Greetings everyone! We the team at www.translationpeople.com are really excited to bring you an article that pertains to the world of blogs and bloggers. We truly believe that this article is of value to our readers and we now invite you to read it.
We thank our friends at www.sterlingcreations.ca for passing this along to us.

Bloggers: How Much Excerpting Is Fair Use?
Tuesday, March 03, 2009
Fair use is back in the news courtesy of a New York Times article on publishers being unhappy with the use of excerpts of their content. The main focal point of the article is Henry Blodget of Silicon Alley Insider, who recently quoted a WSJ columnist.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Editor's Note: The practice of excerpting web content and linking to the original source has been going on nearly as long as the web has been in mainstream use. Yet to this day the concept is still argued about even on a legal level. In your opinion , how much content should a blogger be allowed to excerpt from another source while linking to that source?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It did not get to the point where Blodget was hassled over it. He used his own judgment and trimmed the excerpt down himself after using one that was five paragraphs long. "No, DJ did not contact us," Blodget tells WebProNews. "I reread the post a few minutes after posting and decided to trim it."
So there's not exactly an issue there, but the concept remains a hot issue nonetheless. We are of course reminded of when Gatehouse Media recently filed a suit against the NYT Company itself when Boston.com published headlines and ledes from one of Gatehouse's sites (it was ultimately settled out of court). And let's not forget the AP's legacy of content stinginess.
Some have called the practice of quoting other sources and using said quotes on pages that contain advertisements, scraping. However, this is a far cry from what real scraper sites do in stealing entire articles, often without credit or links to the original given.
No, Blodget and the Huffington Post (also cited in the NYT article), and many others including the NYT itself, WebProNews, and probably the majority of blogs and online publications you read all practice the quoting of other sources with links and proper attribution.
This argument is almost as old as the Web itself. iEntry CEO and WebProNews publisher Rich Ord founded the Internet's first news aggregation site NewsLinx.com back in 1996 and recalls the same issues then as now. Rich says, "I was contacted by nearly every major news site when I launched NewsLinx including the New York Times and Wall Street Journal and was asked with an aggresive tone if I had permission to link to their stories. I always answered that I did not and that I would remove the links if they liked. They universally told me to keep linking. Even then they realized the value of the exposure outweighed their old style control over what I considered fair use of their content."
The real beef (at least currently) stems from the doom and gloom attitude about the state of the online advertising industry, and the newspaper industry itself. Publishers are afraid of losing readers (aka ad viewers) to the blogs and sites that are quoting their content.
Nevermind the fact that as Brian Stelter at the NYT notes, these blogs/sites are actually opening up the original sources to other readers who would not have gotten to the them in the first place had they not followed a link from the blog/site doing the quoting.
The "original sources" are more concerned about those readers of secondary sources that don't click through to their sites. Another point I have often seen made in this discussion is that in the end, even the most original sources had to get their information from somewhere.
The most valuable articles are ones that bring together related points, and often these points have been made by others first. In the news industry, stories break from all kinds of different sources, and in the interest of keeping readers informed, other publications do not want to ignore the news. It seems only logical and courteous to give credit where credit is due via a quote and a link.
Blogging is not going away. In fact it will likely continue to grow. If publishers take action to eliminate the excerpting, it will likely just result in more uncredited regurgitation. A lot of trust in content will probably be lost as a result of a lack of accreditation. To me it seems this would only hurt the industry as a whole.

Your website is driving away non-English speaking customers
Top of the day to you out there! I'm Donna J. Jodhan.
Today, I would like to shine the spotlight on your website.
Today, I would like to shine the spotlight on your website.
Your website is driving away non-English speaking customers
Did you know that English is the fourth most spoken language in the world today? This may be a big shock for many of you to hear but according to many International experts, it is. The top three spoken languages are: Mandarin Chinese, Hindi, and Spanish. This is probably why so many companies often find themselves in difficulty when they are unable to detect why it is their well-written English web content has failed to attract consumers from other countries. So many companies continue to assume that English is the language of the Internet and it is still the main language of business but when it comes to the most popularly spoken language, it is not.
As I continue to stress, consumers generally like to do business with those companies that are able to produce web content in their native language and they are even more impressed when the web content is appropriately translated to reflect their native tongue. If you take a minute to think about it: You are an English-speaking consumer and you would like to buy a product that is produced in Japan. You visit the website to purchase your product but when you get there you discover to your chagrin that the website does not have any English content. It is totally written in Japanese. You do not speak Japanese and consequently you are unable to make your purchase. What will you do in order to facilitate your purchase? More than likely you will search for another website, one that has been written in English, and one that sells the same or a similar product.
For future reference, you will probably not revisit the previous website and you know what? That company has just lost your business for good and it does not end there. You will undoubtedly tell your friends and family about that particular website and lo and behold! That company is going to lose other potential consumers. If only it had had the foresight to have developed its website in other languages.
I am going to leave you with a reference to investigate.
