Deutschland Loses in EuroCup; Consolation Prize is German Flock Browser
By now we all know that Germany lost the EuroCup to Spain. To make up for some of the pain that Germans all over the world are feeling, Flock has launched a full German-language edition of their social browser.
It's more than just a language translation - the browser is rich with German language content. They call this conversion, "deep localized". Dan Burkhart notes, "The Flock DE edition ships with local content, media streams and service offerings from the most popular sites in Germany. (For example: sports content from sites like Sports1.de, and bundesliga.de rather than ESPN.com. News from Spiegel.de and FinancialTimes.de instead of CNN.com). Search services deliver German search results (for example, Yahoo.de, Amazon.de, eBay.de, Wikipedia.de, etc). Social sites like Facebook, Flickr and YouTube are defaulted to return the German experience."
And Flock says more localized versions will be coming soon as soon as the "dedicated volunteer localizers worldwide" offer up their free labor.
Wow what a prize, lose the euro2008, they are not going to win gold in the olympics. so i guess "flocking" around the internet and crying about it.
You are kidding. We will win all gold medals by the summer olympics, because all US athlets will be banned due to drug abuse (EPO)
