In September 2007, the first Ukrainian instant messenger Balachka appeared on the Internet.
The program is designed to communicate via the Internet. The
“Balachka” messenger besides the traditional functionality for similar products has also a number of additional advantages.
With the help of "Balachki" you can send SMS-messages to the numbers of Ukrainian mobile operators, set message statuses and create your own user statuses, hold online conferences. The number of "emoticons" available to users of "Balachka" is about a hundred, which allows you to express almost any emotion. When messaging, the program makes it easy to send a picture to the other party. When adding a new contact, it is possible to assign a special sound signal to it, which will be exclusive for this user.
The program allows multiple launches, that is, you can use multiple copies of the Balachka at the same time. This is convenient if you have several accounts, and you can run the program several times at once for each account separately and keep separate contact lists, for example, for work or personal communication. The analogue of the program exists in Poland since 2000 and has 6 million active users.

As an additional service, a social portal
“My Generation” is launched in parallel with the messenger, the registration for which is carried out in the presence of the messenger. The functionality of the portal in the presence of an installed messenger allows you to maintain a personal organizer, post photos, chat in thematic forums, run your own blog and get acquainted. A blog can be supplemented without visiting the site by sending a message from the messenger to a specific number.
