(Orlando, Fl., November 28, 2010) – Florida Technology Journal, a leading source for business technology news, is proud to announce its list of companies demonstrating at this year’s TechVenture 2010.  The companies selected for this year’s event represent the growing number of next-generation technologies being developed across Florida in multiple industry sectors. Instruxo LLC is recognized for its pioneering technology and is now given the opportunity to showcase its product to a room full of industry influencers and investors at this year’s event, taking place December 2-3 at the Sonesta Orlando Downtown Hotel.

TechVenture’s line up of company demonstrations represents a wide array of growing technology industries in the Southeast region such as alternative energy, cleantech, cloud solutions, digital media, information technology, medical device, software, web applications and wireless. Those companies selected all met the criteria of being headquartered in Florida, privately owned with 1-50 employees with annual revenues from pre-revenue up to $50 million. In addition, proprietary technology and the product or solution has been commercialized, in trials or beta testing stages.

We congratulate them as their technology demonstrates the most competitive advantages in the marketplace.”

The Internet's Multilingual Revolution

By Rafael Gerena, of Instruxo

John Yunker put together this cool map showing the approved International Domain Names (IDNs) by region. He writes: "Notice the wide range of scripts over India and the wide range of Arabic domains... Right now, more than half of the content on the Internet is not in English. Ten years from now, the percentage of English content could easily drop below 25%." 

Today, he points out, web surfers can find Yandex, a Russian search engine, by visiting yandex.ru. And clicking on Яндекс.рф redirects to Yandex.ru. "But flash forward a few years and these Latin URLs (though they’ll still exist) may no longer function as the front doors into these markets, " Yunker says. "In a few years, I doubt this redirection will exist."

You can read John's full blog post here.

Bottom Line: Companies need to adapt to a new business era in which global customers are demanding to be served in their native language. English-language dominance of the Internet is fading fast.

Your Child's First Pro Job? Overseas?

The spread of international air travel - and the ability of cell phones, Skype and FedEx to link economies worldwide - suggest your child's first professional job may be overseas. Forget about visiting your kid in Jersey or California- Start thinking Hong Kong, Sydney or Buenos Aires. A recent Marketplace Radio program predicts white-collar jobs of the future will require global work experience. And competition for those jobs will be fierce. Parents: Time to pair the abacus with those Rosetta Stone language CDs you've been considering :)

Good News to Share: 
My company, Instruxo, beat some stiff competition and was selected to demo at the TechVenture 2010 exhibit Dec 2 & 3 in Orlando, Fl. The event will be overflowing with ideas, entrepreneurs and investors. We will promote the idea of doing business globally. Should be fun. Stop by if you can.

best, ralph
