I want to buy something from the Google store, but I found out they have two different stores. One for orders from the Americas, and the other for the rest of the world. Now the problem is, the thing I want to buy is only available at their American store. Any suggestions?

Matt was expecting something called Flickrhoo.

FlickrBlog: “Yahoo! actually does acquire Flickr.”

The Friends of Democracy in Iraq are Beta testing this tool now. You can try it, too.

Jeff Jarvis: “With this tool, citizens throughout the Middle East will be able to declare their independence. They will be able to build bridges to fellow citizens in other parts of the world.”

Spirit of America: “We are funding the development of an Arabic blogging (Web logging) tool and, with donor support, we will host the blogs at no cost to the bloggers. This will allow blogs to be created easily. It will give voice to those working for freedom and democracy in the Arab world. And it will enable them to more easily connect with and share ideas with their peers.”
