Campbell is not alone in this regard; see my post on Disney. [...] [...] Campbell took a crack at China in the 1990s but didn’t do well because it made no effort to localize the product.

However, your feed has a significant shortcoming which I hope you will correct. Please understand that this comment is not intended to be mean-spirited; rather, it is my goal to make things better through constructive criticism. Because I subscribe via an aggregator (Google Reader) instead of visiting the blog directly, I only see the first few lines of each entry. To read an entire story, I have to click through to your site. This is a major usability shortcoming. I am a busy person. I follow over 50 blogs. If I had time to click through to every article, I wouldn't use a reader to bring the content to one convenient location. As a site focused on usability issues, I hope you will consider that, if you want to effectively promote I18N and further the cause of usability in general, you will change your feed settings to publish entries in their entirety, not just the opening few lines. I will give this blog a few more days, but I'm not going to change my reading habits to click through for "the rest of the story". When I can't get all of the information in my reader, a blog loses its value, and I unsubscribe. No doubt I am not the only subscriber who feels this way, although I might be the only one to take the time to inform you. I respectfully request that you change your settings to publish entire articles in your feed. Peace! Hello,
