German,

French,

Italian,

Japanese,

and many other versions.

Just scroll down to the bottom of the Google News page to see for yourself.

Still in Beta, and really interesting, seeing the news as it's viewed by people in various places around the world.

Of interest to me, for example, is that the international news as reported on the Chile and Argentina versions differs in content and emphasis.

As it should, if done right.

This Google feature is a nice way to get acquainted with an area before traveling or moving there.

Read the local news, see what matters to people where you're going.

Remember Aristotle Onassis's remark, "The secret of success in business is knowing something no one else knows."

I suspect a secret of success when doing business somewhere other than your home turf is knowing what everybody else there knows.

Google rules.

I wonder if anyone at Google reads bookofjoe?

I haven't heard from them yet, if they do.

In that respect, Google is like China.
