DISQUS

We did some work on this stuff, been meaning to respond but combo of time / NDA gets in way - plus hate always seeming to be the nay-sayer. Anyway, Issue is not in early stage, but when you have to defend a contested market from 6,000 miles and a 6 hour time difference.

Was just thinking - what's your blog readership split Nic - and will you use US English ;)

Hi Alan - you are right, it isn't easy to go to the US. But it isn't impossible either, and no business is easy :)

And my readership is well over 50% European, so I will be making the queen and Prince Charles happy by using 'u's and 's's where they should be used!

Having worked in the US for 6 years I can honestly say that targetting the US from the UK is very difficult unless you have a committed long term investment, and people on the ground (preferably locals) who understand your buisness model inside out.US English is reasonably important, although I think that US Contract lawyers won't shout too loudly about this, as if provides some easy additional billable hours :)
