Article about "Habrahabr" in the latest issue of "Posters"
And that no one has yet posted an article from the fresh "Posters"?
Here is actually:
The site habrahabr.ru is the first informational tape that users make entirely: they write notes themselves and filter them themselves. "Poster" talked with the creators of "Habra"
')
The site with the inconceivable name habrahabr.ru and the code definition “social network for geeks” is made by the company Futurico, headed by three people: Denis Kryuchkov, Jovan Savovich and Nastya Zabrodina. On the “Habré” a scheme works, which has no analogues so far: users write news and notes themselves, assign a rating to them themselves, throw out uninteresting ones themselves - and thus a tape is formed from the most popular records. The scheme is simple, but effective - “Habr” is developing at a gigantic pace. The notes were originally about IT and the Internet, but the circle is expanding: now on the “Habré” next to the news about FoxTorrent and Flash CS3, you can read an interview with Chichvarkin or find out why the apple in the Apple logo has been bitten .
Jovan is also known for the dirty.ru site. “ Derty ” - a site with the slogan “80 years on the Internet” - appeared in 2001, when Jovan got tired of writing his own blog, very popular then jovan.ru, and he decided to let others write. Web designers published news on “ Derti ”, and sometimes a portrait of Deputy Novodvorskaya appeared there (and instantly differed across the Russian Internet), which carried a poster with the words “Will code HTML for food”, or a picture where the bear said: “ Preved.
Recently, Futurico acquired an office in which they set up tables and computers and write down thoughts on boards (“We have a plan number 4”), which the cleaning lady accidentally erases. “Since the beginning of the year, we are arguing what to do next with our sites,” says Jovan. “As long as we argue, they become what users want, that is, about everything.” And any violent influence here is rather bad. You really can't do anything about it. Our task is not to lose the Internet people who are sitting there now. So that later more automobile, sporting and other people would come, and they would live together, and each would watch their own filtered tape. ”
The owners of the Internet company Futurico are remarkable for the fact that they manage to create successful social networks without apparent effort - without financial investments, marketing developments and business plans. It all starts with friends, and then it turns out that 30,000 people go to the site every day - and no one knows who they are. What is the matter - in a beautiful, intelligible design or the words "otkhabrenny" or "zahabrenny", the creators themselves do not really understand. “We have no specific business models at all. Maybe because we are doing something fundamentally new. All these social networks are not yet monetized, and they bring little profit. We, of course, can earn money at any time if we suddenly run out of money, but for now we prefer to combine business with pleasure. The reality is that quite a few adequate people are engaged in this direction. At all, everything is very complicated. And the social network is actually growing by itself. We understand this, and, probably, this is why everything is so easy for us. ”
