October 11, 2016 By Chris G.

You’ve probably heard, at some point, that blogging has created massive opportunities for creative individuals. It offered an avenue for stating your opinions, and share your voice with others via digital means.

But once a blog was in place, the next level of challenge settled into your creative concerns: How do you reach more people? Because everyone is vying for limited attention, your blog has to be exceptional in all regards.

One way to convince those millions of potential readers on the web that your perspective is worthy of their time is to add a podcasting element to the mix.

Evernote calls on community to translate site

July 31, 2009 By Andy Merrett

Following in the footsteps of Facebook, the popular online service Evernote is calling on its community to help translate the site into languages other than English and Russian.

evernote-map

The project aims to have Evernote versions available in French, German, Italian and Spanish by the end of the year, relying on users to translate as much or as little content as they want.

The online tool lets users add new translations or edit existing ones. There are also positions available for volunteer co-ordinators who will have greater responsibility for reviewing and approving translations.

If this experiment is successful, more languages will be offered up in the future.
