April Fools interface "In Contact"
A lot has been said about the debasement of the word "friend" in modern soc. networks, about the dominance of incomprehensible and alien words-terms, about the purity of the Russian I am language, etc. etc. And so the V Kontakte team launched such a thing as a nostalgic language. I don’t know if it was originally intended to be used, or if it was just a joke, but the feature turned out to be much to the taste.
For example, I find it much more pleasant to click on the “Speak” button than on the “Write” button (mainly because of its ambiguous meaning in combination with Wall :). Also, the word comrade is a little less embarrassing when completely left-handed people are trying to be your friend. And what are "My Notes", "My Photo Cards", "My Unions", the correction instead of editing, and, most probably, imperceptible, but no less important, it is marked "in touch" instead of non-Russian "online".
As a result, if we discard the pseudo-Soviet entourage of all sorts of files there, summonses and information bureau, it turns out really RIGHT Russian, which just rejoices eye.
