InFuture.ru - Feel the future!

In early January 2008, a new Internet project, InFuture.ru, was launched into the “orbit” of Runet.

http://www.infuture.ru is a daily online magazine about advanced scientific and technical achievements. These are news of space, automotive, architecture, nanotechnology, robotics. About what awaits us in the future and what we have now. No wonder the slogan of the project - Feel the future!

Who are the creators?
The main ideologue of the project, and put a “hand” to the design of the site - Max Chizhov (on the site under the nickname creator1). It can also be said that the Oranzhonweb design studio created the design of the Infuture.ru website for its layouts.

The second creator (creator2) is Alexander Ievlev , a fan of news related to space. The creator of such projects ZnayKak.ru, Euro2008.ru and in the distant past, Virtual Hollywood.

What awaits us on the site?
1) Daily news, articles on given topics and sections of the project. Presumably it is 5-10 publications per day.

2) Voting for publications in the manner of Digg.kom, a cloud of popular tags, commenting on articles, news.

3) By registering, you will be able to offer to the authors of the project their own news, articles and votes. After approval - they will be published on the site. Why is moderation happening, you ask? - the answer is simple. As Max Chizhov informed us, we don’t want to move away from the topics that were put at the head of the InFuture.ru project. Having opened the free access to the publication of materials, you can quickly get lost in the “depths” of Runet =).

4) Interesting sections that are still in Beta testing: A look from the past, Questionable, Fiction.

Some questions for Max Chizhov :

1) How was the idea to register a domain Infuture.ru and create the project itself?

Max Chizhov: The idea was born a long time ago, the idea to create a site of a similar orientation, probably in 2006. It’s just that the subject itself is interesting, always happy to read such materials. Well, domain infuture.ru? Looking for something interesting to indicate the future. They invented it in the meantime.

2) Does the fact that the main competitor Membrane, firmly settled in this category of projects, scares you?

Max Chizhov: Well, you will say the main competitor. We still grow and grow, but we would like to ...
We have a slightly different focus, concept. We want to achieve some interactivity on our project. For example, readers can vote for materials. In addition, some of them who are interested can publish their own news, article, photo, etc. And of course the long-established ones: forum, comments.
We also have such a section - “Projects”, especially for those who want to give their projects to the general public, some kind of invention, technology, etc.
Well, all this is taken into account when calculating the rating for "TOP Users". Later, I think we will hold contests among readers.

3) What will be your main content? These are articles-translations from foreign sources, are they own analytical, short news, copy-paste articles from other sources ??

Max Chizhov: We will work in all directions. Gradually increasing the percentage of own articles. I would very much like high activity from the users of the resource.

In general, time will tell what will happen to the project, but for now - “Let's go!” Yuri Gagarin.
