Blogger platform Profy: Novosibirsk startup in the US market

TechCrunch, the largest Western startup resource, writes about the new blogger platform Profy from the eponymous American company Profy, Inc. Curiously, this Californian startup is of Russian origin . The director is Ilya Korsun, the developers and managers are Oleg Tokarev and Svetlana Gladkova. They all live in Novosibirsk.

The Profy platform combines a text WYSIWYG editor, an RSS reader and a social network. For authors on the site there are many templates. You can add other bloggers to your circle of friends, exchange private messages and chat. An example of a blog on the Profy platform and screenshots can be found here . Now the system is undergoing closed alpha testing, and the number of testers is limited to a hundred people.

Western commentators doubt the particular prospects of this kind of startup. “Does the world need another blogger platform?” - the author asks with TechCrunch. “I don't know, but let's give the Russians a chance.”
