The Spanish web site I think he's referring to has an English version: http://greenmomit.es/en/ , but the link is buried at the bottom of the page instead of at the top. The sarcasm of the author is a put off for me, like startups in an international competition didn't know about having pages in English.

Criticizing is easy, for example: a media company should know better than using grey fonts over a black background.

He also criticizes startups for not defaulting to English. Not to mention the arrogance of making that statement when there are more native Spanish speakers than native English speakers.

I don't think native speakers is that meaningful of a metric in this case. Fluent speakers is the more interesting case and as far as I can tell, many more people are fluent in English than in Spanish. Additionally, the average income of fluent English speakers is likely higher than the average income of fluent Spanish speakers.

You mean on the side column of the blog?

[fduran]

Yes

Been wanting to change that for a long time, but yes, you are actually right. That's the reason why we changed the main site's look, but the blog is lagging behind. The fact is, that the side column isn't that important, as it's meta info, but you're right, thxs.
