MySpace in Russia: details
In connection with the official presentation of the Russian section of the most successful social network MySpace in the world (de facto, the Russian section opened as early as January), the general director of the Russian division of MySpace Russia gave a long interview to Lenta.ru.
In contrast to the interview with the president of Odnoklassniki , the head of Russian MySpace gave a lot of interesting information about his project, as well as discussions about the future of social networks and the entire Internet.
Let us quote a few quotes from Alexander Turkot.
')
... The staff of MySpace Russia is small - today we are 8 people. We will expand as we will increase and connect additional functionality. Today, for example, we are looking for a good accountant with good English. Next year I plan to double the staff.
... We have about 1500-1700 people registered daily only in Russia, and this figure is constantly growing. The countries, formerly called “15 republics - 15 sisters,” collectively give about the same daily increase. ... Today we have about half a million Russian subscribers. The total number of Russian-speaking users is approximately 1,100,000, I am only talking about registered users. We do not measure random visitors, but statistically they are about three times more.
... Events will certainly hold. Here we stand on our feet (s) :-)
So far I don’t want to reveal all the maps, but I’ll say that exclusive pre-premiere film shows, concerts of young musicians, and stories with the participation of stars are planned. Right next year we will begin.
... In the near future, the MyAds system will be launched in Russian, which will allow any small business and, I am not afraid of this word, PBOYUL, to promote and advertise their products and services with us. The musicians will have the opportunity to sell their works, using us as a showcase. Well, a lot more.
... We are not just a social network, but a content platform. Here you will find (surprise!) The most complete collection of music and musicians from all over the world. We have registered and actively live several million musical groups - from the Madonna to the yard groups. We live and constantly updated base of professional and amateur films, TV and video. Today we are the second largest video hosting in the world with a huge amount of structured and legal video content of the best channels - from the BBC to Cannes Lions, from National Geographic to the NBA, from The Onion to WhoWhatWear.
... We want MySpace in the Russian-speaking space (which is about 300,000,000 people) to become a universal platform for self-expression - not only for musicians, as it has historically been around the world, but also for filmmakers, designers, artists, writers, journalists, photographers and so on - in general, for all who have something to say and show the world.
... We focus not only on the content created by amateur users, but also on professional projects. We consider the mixing of content from professionals and beginners to be an extremely positive factor for both the first and second.
... MySpace together with Google are the initiators of OpenSocial. Accordingly, we do not just support, but in every possible way welcome the writing of applications. There are already hundreds of thousands of them in the world. Russian-speaking, unfortunately, much less. We have no regular partners yet, but we will be happy to consider any partnership proposals from both companies and craftsmen. Read more - here . Come, bring your ideas and applications - we will be happy to help promote them not only in Russia, but also to the whole world.
