I like microblogging services because It is convenient for me to collect the wishes of users about my notes and finds, receive notifications from friends and write for them.
Why did it occur to reinvent the Russian bicycle, if you already have Twitter and Friendfid?
On Twitter, when searching in Russian, word forms are not taken into account: “Moscow”, “in Moscow” - different results.
“Trending” (trending topics) on Twitter never shows popular Russian words. It is clear that there are not many Russians on Twitter yet, and even attempts to organize a flash mob do not allow us to break into the most discussed topics. However, I would very much like to ideally get a picture of what is happening in Russia and in Russian.
Twitter does not update the feed with tweets and real-time comments, as Frendfied does, for example. But it is very convenient.
Twitter allows you to use only English hash tags.
Although we all read in English, we still write in Russian, and the feeling of inconvenience from purely English headlines and explanatory texts remains.
I would like to subscribe in one convenient place to the Russian media and blogs, instead of which Twitter recommends me to English-speaking hundreds of thousands of people.
Finally, I have a lot of mailboxes for different purposes, some of them are in Russian services (because they deal with local spam better than Gmail does). However, I do not have the opportunity to see which of the postal contact contacts are using Twitter.
What has already been done in RuTvit unlike simple repetition of Twitter?
RuTvit allows you to automatically import posts from Twitter and Friendfid into one tape. A reverse operation is also possible - automatically exporting tweets from RouTwit to Twitter and Friendfied.
This full-text search in Russian, taking into account word forms. And - yes, it works in real time. ')
We define the most discussed topics at the moment in Runet. We decided to call this section "Pulse of Russia", because it really reflects those plots about which most of all are now written in Russian.
New tweets and comments to them appear in the tape automatically, in real time.
Labels with a grid can be written in Russian (#Moscow, #Habr).
All texts on the site are written in Russian, including menus, answers to frequently asked questions, etc.
If you use our mailers and social networks, you can see who reads from friends — writes to RuTvit, subscribe to their tweets, invite them to write and read your tweets, etc.
“I am on other sites”: indicate where else in RuNet have your profiles (VKontakte, classmates, etc.).
A catalog of the most popular Russian media and blogs has been created. After reviewing it by topic, it is very easy to solve the problem of finding suitable authors by selecting your favorite resources for reading. If you own a popular site, please contact - registration in the catalog is free for now.
In addition to such an extended interpretation of Twitter, we also added a couple of interesting “tweaks”, created under the influence of our beloved Friendfid. For example, if the tweet "evaluate", then it will instantly appear at the top of the feed from your subscribers. To view tweets, you can also choose the form in which all the answers will be glued together in one discussion, similar to the usual forum format.
I invite dear habra users to participate in testing RuTvit . I will be sincerely glad to any comments and suggestions that will make RuTvit better. In turn, I can promise the most active and interested pre-release access to new RuTvit chips. And they will be many, because I hope that this release is only the beginning in the long and fascinating life of my new startup.
