The Polyglot internet

Ethan Zuckerman wrot this article to the World Economic Forum, Global Agenda 2008.

"Weblog search engine Technorati sees at least as many blogposts in Japanese as in English, and some scholars speculate that there may be as much Chinese content created on sites like Sina and QQ as on all English-language blogs combined."

In August 2010 there will be a first wave of 8 Google satellites launching. I wonder about how this will impact the language diversity.
