Cloud: an instant translation in Windows Azure

Microsoft and start-up Canadian Ortsbo resurrect the Tower of Babel in the Cloud! An example of services in the cloud that illustrates the strengths of public clouds. Ortsbo is not really a new service. Born in July 2010, it instantly translates in 50 languages written messages on instant messaging services like Facebook, Twitter, Live Messenger, GTalk or Google TencentQQ.
