Google Colombia

The audience demographics for google.com.co, as compared to the general internet population, show positive for the 18-34 age group, graduate educated males, and negative for those over 35 with a lesser education background, and females browsing from school.

The negative browsing figures are particularly pronounced for the 45-64, no college, browsing from school, parameters.

Although Google announced late 2010 that they would be opening offices in Bogotá, Colombia in the near future, due to the upturn in security and economy, I have not, as yet, heard that this has been implemented.

No address, at present, available.

Colombia is situated in the north-west of the continent of South America, lying between latitude 0º (the equator) and 10º north. It has a coastlines on the Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Sea. Coastal plains to the west are separated from tropical grasslands to the east, by the Andes. This mountain range splits into three ranges (the Cordilleras) in Colombia, and run north along the west coast, gradually disappearing towards the Caribbean Sea. 

Very little of the country is under cultivation although much of the soil is fertile.

The range of climates result in an extraordinary wealth and variety of crops: coffee being the most important.

Colombia is rich in minerals and produces about half of the world's emeralds.

It is South America's leading producer of coal.

Oil is gradually coming on tap: gold is mined in the east.

Exports include coffee and sugar, and there is a strong 'black' economy based on exports of illegal drugs.

The US and Colombian governments are spending billions of dollars fighting drug wars in Colombia. 

The official language of Colombia is Spanish.

It is classified as Latin American Spanish by Google (es-419).

However, there are over 80 living languages spoken, and a further 20 with no known speakers.
