Sam Sethi announced today the official launch of Blognation, a brand new blog network that aims to cover the Web 2.0 ecosystem outside of the Silicon Valley. The mission of Blognation is to make available in English language all the information coming from different countries around the world. Sam started with the UK edition, but in the next weeks he will add many more (my friend Michael Pick will edit the Japanese one). This is an amazing project and I am sure it will succeed.
It is hard to get a different viewpoint on Web 2.0 entrepreneurship, startups and web apps in a Web that is almost completely dominated by major blogs such as TechCrunch, and the birth of this network will certainly bring a valuable contribution to the global conversation. Sam estabilished a partnership with the supercool Intruders TV - a new Internet television focused on the same topics as Blognation - which will provide video content to the network. You really need to check this out.

Well, you got it nearly right. It is not going to be in all those languages, but everything in English from those countries. Because while there are already a lot of news in local language - if you do not speak that, you are lost.
Hence blognation - everything in english. ;) hth.

Thanks Nicole! Actually I got what you mean, but I guess I didnt express it properly. I will try to rewrite the sentence to make it clearer :)
