User API .
The service is designed to quickly build a social network (the stated minimum time is 5 minutes).
New networks will use these networks VKontakte (users, photos, etc.).
When the project is monetized: revenues will be divided into 60% by the owner, 40% by the User API. Read more in

For those who are not registered VKontakte copy-paste from Durov's blog:
We believe that the future of the Internet is in the hands of individual passionate personalities, many of whom are now reading this message. Therefore, we are launching the User API V Kontakte project, which allows anyone who wants to create separate social networks in different countries of the world at no cost.
Thanks to the User API VKontakte (http://userapi.com), you can create an analogue of VKontakte, for example, in Korea (South) or the Czech Republic and you will have complete control over your own social network, its functions, appearance and income. At the same time, you can do it on the basis of a single VKontakte database with millions of users already in existence and billions of photos.
Our experience suggests that the development of social networks and the Internet in general in most countries of the world is at the very beginning. Regardless of who you are - an experienced programmer or a beginner in the world of technology, with certain efforts you can create a social network that will take leading positions in a particular country and will begin to generate income of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
We take care of maintaining the server infrastructure - something in which we have gained considerable experience. We invite everyone to do what they understand better than us: choose a domain name in a national domain zone, adapt a social network to a specific country, culture and language.
Detailed information on the VKontakte User API from this day is available at
userapi.com .
I would like to hear the opinion of the audience on this project. We are waiting for the attack of the clones? Or is the transition of contact subnets to the thematic social networks market?
