Nokia responds to questions over Symbian name swap
Nokia’s seems to have finally realized that it can’t just kill off a long-standing name like Symbian with a mere three-word mention (in parentheses) on its official blog. It’s now posted up a marginally more detailed statement in response to “heaps of questions” from Nokia fans about the name change, and it reads as follows:
“We are still using Symbian Belle with some audiences like developers but now we also have the flexibility of using Nokia Belle when referring to our greatest and latest Symbian software update.”
There, that should clear it up. Or maybe not. The idea of switching between different names for the same product might be considered bad branding, and the notion of developers being an “audience” is confusing too. But what more can you expect from a single sentence? In other news, the update also clarified that Nokia/Symbian Belle will be coming to the Nokia 500, along with the devices mentioned yesterday, and that it’s delay until February 2012 was due to this being a “major software update” that will “make such a big difference in the user experience.”

Exclusive: Majority of YouTube views from Non-English audience
Talk about a truly global audience: 60 percent of all video views on YouTube come from users who select a language other than English as the site’s display language, a Google spokesperson told us Thursday afternoon.
That data point comes on the heels of an announcement earlier Thursday that YouTube is now available in IsiZulu and Afrikaans, two languages spoken in South Africa. The site is now available in 51 languages total, with YouTube offering a localized experience including an own top-level domain and country-specific video recommendations in 35 countries around the world.
YouTube has previously said that it clocks more than three billion video views every day. This means that at least 1.8 billion of those views come from people whose primary language is not English, no matter whether they reside inside the U.S. or not.
This kind of diversity represents a huge opportunity for YouTube: Premium content services like Netflix and Hulu are subject to contractual restrictions that turn international expansions into a slow-moving process. YouTube on the other hand already has a global audience, and it has begun to monetize a significant part of it. A localized version of YouTube’s partner program is now available in 25 countries.
