Yesterday I mentioned how 2005 was a big year in the evolution of the “global gateway.” As proof of this, here are three splash global gateways that did not exist 16 months ago. Everywhere I look I’m finding more and more of these gateways.

Not all of them are well executed, but their very existence is a sign that companies are creating more and more localized Web sites and now in need of an elegant way to direct Web users to this content.
