What we love about XML
After we "hinted" extensively in our last issue that we are absolute XML fans, we will today make an attempt to tell you a few reasons for our affection (without being too technical). You might remember from the last article that our fondness goes beyond the avalanche of abbreviations or the technology hype. It would be more accurate to say that XML is our favourite because it is future-proof and because it offers enormous possibilities when it comes to data storage and exchange. This article is going to touch on a couple of important issues which highlight this.
New Year's (Re)solution
A couple of weeks ago, we all returned to work - full of renewed vigour and wishing every colleague and client who crossed our path the customary "good New Year".

So with this in mind, Lingo24 would like to wish you a prosperous New Year and at the same time suggest a corporate New Year's resolution guaranteed to help drive forward your export campaigns in 2006.
