"Lost In Translation" 02/15/2004 02:26 AM

asianmediawatch.net has started a campaign to petition the movie industry to vote against "Lost In Translation" for the Academy Awards.

My sister blogs about the negative depictions of Japanese in "Lost in Translation". She links to a UK Guardian and New York Times article that point out similar issues with the movie.

When I first saw the movie, I thought it was funny. After reading the articles and the asianmediawatch site and thinking about how much influence Hollywood has on the way the world views cultures, I can see their point.

Google UK Gets Local

Google UK Gets Local 04/12/2005 10:08 AM
Google's local information service is to be expanded to the UK later this year. Google Local, as it's called, will search for your nearest service - be it pizza or an electrician. American users have had their own local service for some time, although it's still in beta.

The UK launch had been rumoured for some time, but was confirmed this week by Holger Meyer, head of Google Germany, Switzerland and Austria, who said it would be coming "later in the year". Speaking to the German trade magazine Der Handelsblatt, he said Britain would test the system before it rolled out over the rest of Europe in the coming years. "Google Local (which it will be called in all areas and zones) starts first in Great Britain... and only later in Germany," he said, but refused to be drawn on further details.

The American service has proved popular since it was launched, offering maps, addresses, contact numbers and the distance to your nearest business for a whole range of goods.

"Google Local" Goes beta

"Google Local" Goes beta 02/05/2005 10:16 PM

Google has taken live on its homepage a new service for locating local businesses, which scours millions of Web pages and crosschecks the results with the Yellow Pages data. Google Local was previously part of the company's Google Labs development sandbox, but has now been deemed ready for widespread use.

One example cited by Google is using the service to find an auto parts store within walking distance. Google Local shows results on an area map, and can limit results to a specific distance from a user's starting point. For frequent local searchers, Google remembers the location in which to look.  Although the service currently only works in the United States and Canada, Google plans to expand its reach in due time. The company also expects to provide a way for businesses to add themselves.

Google UK Goes Local, Gets Mapping

Google UK Goes Local, Gets Mapping 04/19/2005 03:28 AM
As predicted just a few days ago, Google has this morning launched UK versions of its local and mapping services. Yes, you can now find Pizzas in Plymouth with the aid of everybody's favourite search engine.

The services appear broadly similar to their US counterparts, and are apparently accompanied at the launch by a UK version of Google SMS. Its subdomain isn't yet active, but a direct link (below) works.

There are a few problems with the mapping data though. Some streets appear fine; however, it appears other areas, particularly where streets have been redrawn, renamed and so on, throw up some pretty strange results. Also, there isn't yet a satellite picture service for the UK.

Posting on the Google Blog, Richard Boardman, Usability Analyst, said: "I guess my colleagues got tired of my moaning, so I'm delighted to introduce Google Local UK and Google Maps UK. The Google UK office and a few of us homesick Brits in California have been helping out with the development."
