If you’re promoting a product to a global audience or you’re blogging for people all over the world, there’s no reason to have your website in only a single language. Although your site will receive traffic and most people around the globe will understand your content (if it’s in English), giving your users a localized version always helps to increase engagement on site. Imagine your website has visitors who speak Spanish; although they read English, if you were to offer them a Spanish version of your website, they’d develop a higher level of personal association (and loyalty) to it. You’d also be taking the edge over your competitors by offering your content in a number of languages.

Among those I met was Jon Medved, a bearlike, Berkeley grad from Santa Monica who moved to Israel at the onset of his career as a serial entrepreneur.

Dezyn.it, a free interior design app, is making interior design a little bit more fun (and practical!).

Picture this: you’ve been eyeing a vintage couch for months. You finally decide to purchase it. Not only do you have a hard time having it shipped to your home, when it finally arrives, you discover it doesn’t really match your existing vintage look. You then slave to get it returned and end up quite frustrated by the entire ordeal.

If you’ve ever tried to purchase an item for your home (big or small), there’s a cool new app (it’s FREE) that you ought to check out in the AppStore. It’s called Dezyn.it; it’s an app you can use to “pre” visualize how any item might look within any given space, before you actually buy it.

It seems even the most casual of games have zombies (death), guns, or gambling involved. Every so often, it’s refreshing to see a different type of game; Mom vs. Bad is one such example.

Released in July, the Snapchat App now places in the top ten most popular free apps for the Apple iOS market and the newly released Android version places 33 on the list of top 100 free apps in the Google Play market.

The concept is that the image self destructs at the end of the viewing time leaving no trace of the picture or video behind on the viewers phone.

What do bloggers, vendors, and entrepreneurs all have in common? They want more website traffic, to bring more business! With the help of Translation Cloud, the endeavor is a little easier.

There are masses on the Internet who do not speak English and website owners who simply don’t translate their respective sites, thereby leaving untapped audiences. If the language barrier were eliminated, then information on the internet could spread much faster – the more people who read a blog or visit an online store in their own native language, the more likely it is that they’ll subscribe to a feed or purchase an item. Or better yet, it may keep them coming back and even bring their friends!
