FotoFlexer is now available in a total of 7 languages: Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, French, German, Portuguese, and Spanish. This global expansion comes at a time when several web-based services are finding that launching a localized site across the globe is a necessary step in furthering the brand.
Having released its set of APIs in September and following up with its participation in OpenSocial, the manner in which FotoFlexer can make itself accessible through other social networks has been significantly increased this year. In terms of web-based image editing tools, integration with social networks is becoming a key offering for many, including Flickr, Photobucket, Box.net and more, and looking at Mark's in-depth interview with the team at FotoFlexer, it's apparent that the company is looking for a higher level of integration that will be beneficial and easy to use for consumers.
The recent funding of MixerCast speaks to this point as well. Friendster is the other network that has recently launched a series of localized sites for its global expansion, which was very important for Friendster as it already had a stronghold in Asian countries.
