VKontakte and Facebook - repeat the wizard





The Chinese have no concept of ' blows '. The Chinese say, if you repeated the master, then the master himself. There's no tyryat ideas, there are masters.

Facebook was created February 4, 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg ( right to say Zuckerberg, Zuckerberg and not, as in the movie ' Social Network '). First, go to Facebook can be by invitation only, but in September 2006. had free access.

For a long time in politics was the lack of Facebook advertising and the desire to create a convenient platform for communication between people from around the world. Despite the original idea of creating a site for communication students at Harvard University, Facebook quickly changed its model to the global, and has been recognized in more than 200 countries around the world. Currently, Facebook is rapidly approaching one billion audience. users.

The date of foundation VKontakte is considered to be October 1, 2006, when a limited liability company ' VKontakte ' domain name was registered vkontakte. ru.

From the beginning, the creators of the site VKontakte. py denied the commercial component of the project, arguing that the appearance of advertising on the site could adversely affect the loyalty of users, and as a resource as a whole. Initially, there was a poster on the money makers are gradually attracting private investment.

Amazing coincidence, right down to the details. Anyone who has seen VKontakte, knows that it is almost an exact copy of Facebook. The same function, appearance, even the color of the interface.

In general, in the words of Mark Zuckerberg in the film ' Social Network ', responding to claims Vinklvoss Brothers - ' If you come up with Facebook, you have it and run! ' . Our world is cruel and unjust, but the good always triumphs over evil. So who won - and that is good.

Much more interesting to think about the prospects of both projects. Life goes on, the world is changing every second, and the fact that only yesterday seemed neezyblemym and eternal, tomorrow can be forgotten. For example, as Yandex.

I used to only them polzovlsya. Even if Google has already appeared. Now, do not use at all. only Google. Why not? . A Yandex, at best, sees them in a couple of weeks. And it is for Russian-language texts!.

But this means that I can see the results of Google to Yandex materials two weeks ago. Quite surprisingly, Yandex is about 100 times inferior to Google, and as a search engine it is possible to bury. Of course, they will enjoy for a long time by inertia, but it is obvious that Yandex is doomed.

In spite of the iron -confidence inherent in the team VKontakte, in my opinion, the prospects for this project is not greater than the Yandex. Not only is it simply copies the Facebook. VKontakte violates the main principle of Silicon Valley - a global approach. Facebook - a global network, and VKontakte - only Runet. Yandex loses to Google, despite the fact that he was the first and went his way, and VKontakte does not even have that, it is secondary fly, first to the end.

Time will tell whether there had been repeated the master.
