In the US, users are sharing content and creating widgets. In Europe, they're often using US sites to share localized content and localized widgets. I also think European Web2.0 is about the old bureaucratic barriers coming down but above all, the rise of open-source empowerment.

And if you e.g. look at Jott, then there is no way to use it in Germany right now (except with quite some costs). This is of course partly a ressource limitation (esp. at the beginning) but in general everybody should maybe think a bit more internationally as there's probably still some market to address. Language versions also come to mind (not such a problem of mine but of others). It's usually not too hard to translate applications, nevertheless it's not that often done from the beginning on. And esp. in Europe there is of course quite a mix of languages.
