Ernst-Jan Pfauth says something I was biting my lips about at the Next08 conference: why are all the German startups fixated on German language versions of Web 2.0 apps? Hardly anyone but native Germans can use them, right? Not to mention the second fact that Pfauth mentions: by presenting in German various non-German speaking ‘influentials’ at the conference (he mentions Steve Rubel and me) couldn’t understand what they are up to. Need to think about glocalization, not localization.

Von Martin Recke seems to get it, in his planning for Next09: “More, if not all content in english (yes, it’s not easy for Germans and, given the predominantly german audience, it seems unnecessary, but read this, please)”

“Rep. Pete Stark of Fremont might have crossed what some are calling “one of the last frontiers” in politics when he delighted atheists this week by acknowledging that he does not believe in a supreme being.
Just a generation ago, says Democratic political strategist Dan Newman, “you couldn’t go anywhere near” such a statement, which “would have been political suicide.”
Stark’s frank declaration that he is “a Unitarian who does not believe in a Supreme Being” indicates, says Newman, that a significant page has been turned — and maybe it’s not such a political liability anymore.
But he adds that “time will tell whether this is a case of the Bay Area being far out front — or merely far out.””

Hillary Clinton today brought up the assassination of Sen. Robert Kennedy while defending her decision to stay in the race against Barack Obama.
“My husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June, right? We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. I don’t understand it,” she said, dismissing calls to drop out.
That is truly low. She’s staying in because Obama might get assasinated.
