Twitter is growing and the demographics are soon to change. According to Matthew Creamer at Advertising Age says in Twitter Shows Global Ambitions With Moves in India and Japantwitter is set to expand into India and Japan
Bharti Airtel, India’s largest mobile provider, inked a deal with the massively popular microblogging service that will allow subscribers to send Tweets at the usual text rates and receive them for free.
. . . a new Japanese-language mobile platform co-developed by Digital Garage. It’s the first such version developed in a language other than English and will work with Japan’s telecoms.
I think opening the social networking market to India and Japan will be great for everyone in the short and long runs.
What do you think?

I thought twitter was already global.
Maybe it’s just not on a massive global scale yet. I don’t think it will be long.
The website may be accessible globally via a web browser on a computer (except in China and other countries that block it) but it has been largely inaccessible to countries where the primary data exchange is cell phones, in many of those countries the local providers have not allowed tweets via SMS sending, receiving, or both.
Manual updates have until now eaten up a great deal of time, especially when you have cross-references such as figure numbers or headings that are linked to multiple locations in a long document. ,
