Turkey is next in this R/WW series on top international Web apps. It's the 9th country I've profiled so far - the others have been Germany, Holland, Poland, Korea, United Kingdom, Russia, Spain and China. For the following information on Turkey, I have Emre Sokullu to thank (also Honor Gunday for info on his web apps). Emre is an open source enthusiast from Istanbul, whose projects include GROU.PS, Turkix and SimpleKDE. He was over in Silicon Valley recently and not only did he attend the TechCrunch party, he also visited the Googleplex and ate quasedillas "just 10 m. away from Sergey Brin"! But I digress...

Top Web Apps in Turkey

Overview of Turkey Web market

Turkey is a nation of over 70M and straddles Europe and Asia. In terms of Web apps Emre said that Turkey, like Israel, has a number of growing web 2.0 companies - and "almost all of them are local clones of some proven [international] ideas". But he says that his own app, Grou.ps, "is an exception there." Interestingly, there are no exact Flickr and del.icio.us clones in Turkey. Emre thinks the reason is that photo sharing is not popular enough in his country and StumbleUpon (see below) is more than enough for link sharing/storing.

Amongst the international web apps, Gmail, Meebo, Blogger and StumbleUpon are very popular in Turkey.

Zoho Launches ZohoShow

Zoho is a web-based software group who make useful Web 2.0 applications that mimic traditional client-side applications like the stuff inside Microsoft Office. Zoho has been silently building up an empire over on their site for a while now, with four office tools and four productivity tools. Here’s what they’re touting for apps:

Zoho Writer - a word processor.
Zoho Sheet- your spreadsheet online.
Zoho Virtual Office - similar to MS Outlook.
Zoho Show - the new kid on the block. Like PowerPoint.
Zoho CRM - online customer relationship management software.
Zoho Creator - also new, a web design app.
Zoho Planner - why not? They can.
Zoho Chat - for water cooler moments.

Their apps all provide demo logon accounts for you to try them out before you bother signing up, and on the main page they show the pricing (most often FREE), and how many users before they want a little cash from you.

It’s worth checking out, especially if you’re a startup or a standalone professional, looking for free or inexpensive ways to build up tools to fill out your software needs.

Here comes Measure Map

My first post to my blog was a little paragraph about my obsession with cycling, and I remember feeling a little ... let down. Sure, it was remarkably easy. Write. Click a button. Reload. Cool! But then what? It wasn't until someone left a comment that I was hooked. An audience! Someone is reading!

It was this feeling that led to the idea of Measure Map. Our goal has been to use the power of web analytics to help bloggers feel that same sense of connection with their audience. Today, as the Measure Map team joins Google, our mission remains the same: to build the best possible user experience so people can understand and appreciate the effect their blogs - their words and ideas - can have.
