Mail.Ru Group has acquired the service RuTwit.ru

Domestic microblogging service RuTwit.ru, it seems, is really a good analogue of Twitter. In any case, it was this service that Mail.Ru Group paid attention to. in fact, “paid attention” - an incorrect expression in this case, since the group simply bought out RuTwit.ru. Probably, after this purchase, the service will begin to actively develop, since the new owner obviously acquired the service not to collect dust in the storerooms. Terms of the transaction, as is usually the case in such cases, remain secret. Perhaps a little later, some regular anonymous source will still provide this information.

According to the management of Mail.Ru Group, the service will receive a new life in a new company, and will be able to become even more interesting for users, therefore - it will be more popular than it is now. Although now this analogue of Twitter can not complain about the small number of users or lack of attention from fans of all kinds of services and startups.

Representatives of RuTwit believe that more resources will allow the service to evolve, since the additional infusions of both financial resources and human resources will help realize many of the developers' plans. Of course, RiTwit is unlikely to be able to compete with its prototype, but this service still has some market share in the CIS, and there is also a tendency to expand the service audience.

It is worth recalling that in RuTwit.ru messages (yes, their length is 140 characters, the same as Twitter itself) can be used in conjunction with pictures, audio files, video clips, and even with reference to a map. At the same time, the service is sharpened in Cyrillic, which is clearly convenient for domestic users. Work began RuTwit.ru around the end of 2009, and since then has become quite popular.
