Facebook: now in Spanish too!

Facebook in spanish
There was a time when Facebook only came in one flavor: English. Well, no longer; there is now an option under "Languages," which you can get to via "Account," to change Facebook's primary language to Spanish.

Currently, there are about 2.8 million registered Facebook users in Latin America and Spain. Both regions will begin to load the Spanish version of Facebook by default starting on Monday, but users will have the option to change the default language back to English should the change be considered bothersome.

Though critics are weary of Facebook's ability to maintain itself and its large social-networking market-share, the company is now destined to grow internationally. Good luck, Mr. Zuckerberg.

Teenie Bopper social network site Piczo gets a larger vocabulary

piczo goes internationalOne thing that tends to take a while in the Web 2.0 market is the expansion to non-English speaking markets. Even Google is guilty of waiting a while to open up services for non-English speaking residents of the world.

Piczo, the social network that specializes in the teen market, has finally expanded to include other languages. The second place superstar in the social space for teens now has international versions for users in Germany, France and Spain.

It's a move that hasn't come soon enough for the over 1.2 million users in Germany alone. Piczo's current user base is approx. 25 million users worldwide.

Orange and Microsoft join IMs

windows live and orange imMicrosoft is doing some connecting with leading edge suppliers in Europe to boost its Live service. Soon 375 millions people are going to be able to IM each other using mobiles or PC's though a deal with Orange in France. The new service will be called Orange Messenger by Windows Live. The application will essentially allow Orange customers to either use the IM tool online, or on their mobile devices to connect to other Windows Live Messenger users. Microsoft and Orange will be joining users in Spain and the UK as well in the near future. Microsoft chose to work with Orange because they are the leading edge supplier in mobile communications in Europe, and there are not many leading edge communication developments being made in the US.
