What is a good blog to read for news on international internet companies and trends?

I’m looking for a blog or magazine that reports on startups, trends, and news from international internet companies. I have a specific interest in India, Europe, Latin America, or Asia. I’d even take suggestions for multiple blogs that I could aggregate using something like Yahoo! Pipes.

Thanks for the help.

Here are 2 good ones:

Black in Latin America


Black in Latin America


$27.99


Black in Latin America, a new four-part series about the influence of African descent on Latin America, is the latest production from renowned Harvard scholar Henry Louis Gates, Jr. The series examines how Africa and Europe came together to create the rich cultures of Latin America and the Caribbean. Latin America is often associated with music, monuments and sun, but each of the six countries featured in Black in Latin America including, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Cuba, Brazil, Mexico and Peru, has a secret history. On his journey, Professor Gates discovers, behind a shared legacy of colonialism and slavery, vivid stories and people marked by African roots. Latin America and the Caribbean have the largest concentration of people with African ancestry outside Africa — up to 70 percent of the population in some countries. The region imported more than ten times as many slaves as the United States, and kept them in bondage far longer. On this series of journeys, Professor Gates celebrates the massive influence of millions of people of African descent on the history and culture of Latin America and the Caribbean, and considers why and how their contribution is often forgotten or ignored.

The aim of this book is to provide unfamiliar readers with a more balanced, interpretive view of Latin America’s long and complex history by identifying key patterns and trends and tracing them across time and space. Within chapters THE RIDDLE OF LATIN AMERICA takes a regional rather than country-by-country approach, treating, for example, the Greater Caribbean, Mexico and Central America, the Andes, the Southern Cone, and Brazil.

Latin America and Underdevelopment


Latin America and Underdevelopment


$42.9


In his second book, Andre Gunder Frank expands on the theme presented in his influential study Capitalism and Underdevelopment in Latin America. It is the colonial structure of world capitalism, in his view, which produced and maintains the underdevelopment characteristic of Latin America and the rest of the Third World. This colonial structure penetrates everywhere in Latin America, forming and transforming all its features in obedience to its own imperatives and thereby imposing upon the region those characteristic features of poverty and backwardness which are not primarily the remnants of an ancient feudal past but the direct products of capitalism. This development of underdevelopment will persist, Frank argues, until the people of Latin America free themselves from world capitalism by means of revolution. Author: Frank, Andre G.

PMHigh Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Blog:CMS (formerly Nucleus XE) is a content management system written in PHP with a MySQL database. It attempts to integrate several opensource projects into a forked version of Nucleus CMS, including DokuWiki, PunBB, and an image gallery, using modifications written by its primary developer, Radek Hulan. The project is generally considered a premodded version of Nucleus CMS, rather than a full product in its own right. The Blog:CMS home page claims that it is used on thousands of websites worldwide. Hulan started the project after several debates with the rest of the Nucleus CMS development team centering around the revocation of his CVS access due to some suspicious changes to the code. Blog:CMS has suffered from some prominent public relations issues centering around Hulans attitude toward support requests , and many users have reported significant bugs.

International Finance and Latin America


International Finance and Latin America


$63.79


This reissue, initially published in 1984, examines the evolution of international financial flows to Latin America since 1945, along with their implications for National Development . The book describes how, in each of the first three decades since the war, a new agency emerged (foreign investors in the 1950s, official aid agencies in the 1960s and multinational banks in the 1970s) which was willing to play a dynamic role in generating new financial flows to the region. The lack of such an agent in the 1980s, combined with a reluctance on the part of former investors to maintain their level of assistance culminated in an economic debt crisis in Latin America which this work seeks to address, asking the crucial question: what measures should be taken – both nationally and internationally – to deal with this critical issue , in a way that will both encourage Latin American Development and avoid a major international financial crisis?
