I'm from Greece and I can't find extensive information in my language. That's why I look in English, where the texts are more extensive and there is no danger not to find some important information. If you observe you will see that most countries in light blue colour have English as their official language. That’s not always true.

In China, for example, sites like wikipedia are blocked all over the place. But when they relent on those things, I think you'll see a massive wiki-jump! People are going to want an unvarnished look at what the heck has been happening for the past 50 years!

Plus the countries that are in the red are somewhat behind the times (technically speaking) in my opinion so that could be part of the reason also.

Подумать только, шесть лет уже в инете, но про это первый раз слышу. Премного благодарен, что просветили, и, главное, как раз вовремя.

As I understand it, the TED team only posts videos of some of the talks, and then trickles out the videos over time so if it gets released at all it may be a while. Not yet.

Zomg! We have two Wikipedias and their difference is in orthography. Though unofficial orthography Wikipedia (be-x-old) takes the leadership :) 2. We have too huge influence from Russia, I mean Russian culture. Most of people speak Russian in daily life (I'd not say that Russian is Russian indeed) and only some volunteers try to move the Wikipedia from the dead point. 3. We have not the cheapest Internet access in the world. But I hope we will soon :) ------ * Belarus I’ll tell you why that red maple leave* in the center of Europe is red :)
