Hi David and greeting to all Mutilingual Search readers. I hope to send out at least another post this afternoon, this morning I was on a panel speaking – The conference is a great success, lots of good updated information.
Sante, thanks for the coverage. Wow 157% growth, I think this internet thing is going to be around for awhile and definitely become more global as evidenced by the Internet Marketing Conference being held in Iceland. Wish I could be there, say hi to all and keep us informed.
