Global e- work’s the most important approach is “think global, act local.
This view of global work firstly contains using language of country which you are in. From the mythology of babel to this time language becomes a tool that cause people far away from each other.

For example some point of views which are funny at a lot of languages begin to seem dreadful and meaningless when translated without changing anything in Turkish and Turkey.

Localization problems
People who sees this problem just as a legal subject or as a censorship law can only solve it for short term.
The best way to understand this issue is through knowing the internet history of Turkey. Perception and appreciation of internet as a media has started with the foundation of haberturk.com. Haberturk used scandal news and events in order to call attentions as a news website. The need of controlling and inspecting the internet by hands of state begins when this site starts to becoming a thread to the governing party of the time. A draft of law has been constituted.

Moreover, since legists who prepared it knows the traditional media more than the digital one, the law contains technically impossible procedures such as two photocopies of each webpage sent to local authorities etc. Liberals who realized this reacted hard to the law.

Nowadays, google is not only mine but also so many technology wirters favorite company. So many phones come for beta testing in everyday to me. Blackberry, iPhone and the other companies send theirnew models. But as weall agreed upon nobody can say that there is a model that is best on the market.
İPhone which seems a big hype in Turkey will be sold by Turkcell and Vodafone. But none of the technology writers can agreed that iPhone is a good selection in Turkey. I also believe Blackberry is mot a good choise either.
Being the past GM of Microsoft Turkey, Sureyya Ciliv, the CEO of Turkcell, is still not doing tachnology business but some marketing tricks in Turkey. Which will lower the brand prestige of Turkcell in the Turkish market.
I hope that google’s android hits the market on that way. It seems very interesting that I still using my w880i Sony Ericsson, in spite of having nokia n61, iphone,blackberry,nokia n82 and an htc.

If you know anything about Microsoft history, you can easily see that, the battle between Microsoft and Google is just begin. Google, last week, agreed with yahoo about web-ads. That is probably people thinking is the end of the Microsoft absolutely wrong. Microsoft has a battle between, Netscape, ICQ, linux, which makes Microsoft stronger. In all these cases Microsoft wins the battle with absolutely the same way. Take the battle from technology to economy, which is their profesionality. As I said to Bill Gates on his last visit to Turkey, in my point of view Microsoft is not a technology company. They are a marketing company. They don’t produce technology, but selling technology. If Google try to fight with Microsoft in the market. They will probably lose the fight…
