VentureBeat – the highly-respected US-based business and entrepreneurial website – has enlisted the expertise of Lingo24’s Christian Arno, in a feature on how entrepreneurs can use the internet to cost-effectively grow their business abroad. The full piece can be read here: Cashing in on non-English search engines.

Within a day of the article being published, another highly reputable online US publication – The Industry Standard – picked up on the feature too.

For those who can remember way back to the dotcom boom days of Silicon Valley, where ideas scrawled on napkins literally made overnight millionaires, The Industry Standard was a weekly San Francisco-based magazine, which billed itself as “the newsmagazine of the internet economy”. It soon became the industry bible and, in 2000, it sold more ad pages than any other magazine in the US. It was huge.

However, when the dotcom bubble burst, many business ventures went bust – including the Industry Standard, which eventually folded in 2001.

But it was re-launched in 2008 by publishing company IDG with a view to it once again becoming an authority on the technology industry. So there you go.
