Euroblogging
Ublog becomes the exclusive agent of Six Apart in Europe, Middle-East and Africa and has started distributing its leading weblogs publishing products, Typepad and Movable Type.
Congrats, Loic =)
Update: Jeff Jarvis, ever up-to-date in these matters, issues Loic a rather compelling challenge:
The most important thing blogging companies can do to change the world and build democracy is to translate their tools into (this is my order of preference) Arabic, Chinese, Persian, Russian, other Asian languages, other Eastern European languages — for these are the parts of the world where the people need a voice to be heard.
When I saw Loic Le Meur at ETech, I pushed him on this idea — because his company was already international — and he got excited about it. Now Loic is the agent for SixApart in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (see the post directly below) and so I throw out to challenge to his new partners — since they are making their company international — and to their investor — who understands the power citizens media bring to emerging democracies — and to to other blogging companies.
