GMail now in Russian

[Josh Wilson]

Dear Seelangers, 

 

I thought some of you might be interested in this video as "prikol" for some
of your more advanced students:

Google is working on completing its full entry to the Russian market.
They've launched ru.youtube.com and opened two research centers in Russia to
develop its Russian search engine and do general R&D. Their original market
entry, by the way, involved buying a Russian company that had developed the
unique software that now powers Froogle. Now, apparently, they are pushing
their GMail services in Russia as well, with a unique and entertaining
"viral video." Just another small reminder that Russia matters - not only in
politics, but also in business.
