GoogleTranslate and democratic access to technology

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009

This post is announce about an announce.

But if you do not care about my multilingual experiment, and want just to apply it to your own web-writing, be it personal or professional, go here.

First, when I wrote on August 5th that Multilingual online publishing – part 2 that from August 16th the posts would have been “GoogleTranslate Ready”- I lied.

On August 2nd, upon request from some Eastern European online friends in my “virtual village” (1100+ people scattered worldwide), I published a first example of my new Russian handwriting skills.

The lie? Because, from July 30th, I started a weekly multilingual blogging exercise (see at the bottom of this post for the list as of 2009-08-16).

Using GoogleTranslate.

Democratic technology access

Monday, June 29th, 2009

I just wanted to share with all those that I am supporting (or preparing to support) pro-bono another step in my plan that could, maybe, become useful in the future to our common activities

my purpose? I found wasteful and boring to repeat what I already did; it is much more interesting and useful to create something new, or use a framework to build new ideas and services

but that is, in the end, the OpenSource spirit :)

more democratic than most of our other form of cooperation ;)
