Web of Culture - WorldSmart

While not endorsing a planetary takeover, WorldSmart offers sections both fun and informative. The site is organized into how-to subjects ranging from Web-focused topics such as design, search engines, and domains, to international operational considerations such as voltage, time zones, and telephones. Its mission: To "educate corporate personnel of North American businesses about the value of globally-focused Web site design and execution, and to promote the growth of this practice throughout the U.S." As a resource it answers many cross-cultural questions for companies in quest of a global Web presence or seeking to improve their current site. Enlightening sections detail the meaning behind gestures, colors, and languages as they vary from country to country.
