What's affecting me, my clients, my colleagues and other global small business owners:

• How Pinterest is going global, modestly.
• Debating the ethics of national borders.
• India's nascent e-commerce market likely to draw global, local players.
• How Europe’s biggest Internet company wants to reach three-quarters of the world’s mobile phones before it runs out of cash.
• As globalization slows, a new startup raises $27 million to bring SMBs to world markets.
• Oh dear.  It's the end of globalization as we know it.
