Смысл: The main idea is that Facebook failed to become the top social network in Russia because VKontakte successfully cloned its functionality and provided a localized experience.
Facebook failed to dominate the Russian market because VKontakte offered a successful, localized clone of its features.
Смысл: The text reports on Facebook's strategic attempt to enter the Russian market by opening a Moscow office and partnering with local mobile operators to compete with the dominant local network, VKontakte.
Facebook is opening a Moscow office and negotiating with mobile operators to challenge VKontakte's dominance in the Russian social media market.
Смысл: The author argues that Russian social networks like VKontakte and Odnoklassniki are doomed to fail because they lack original innovation, copy Facebook's features, and face legal pressures regarding copyrighted media content.
The author predicts the decline of VKontakte and Odnoklassniki due to Facebook's innovation and the legal sanitization of local content.
Смысл: The main idea is that the belief that VKontakte is a mere clone of Facebook is a simplified myth; while VK borrows ideas, it also innovates and follows general industry trends where mutual borrowing is common and beneficial for the user.
The author argues against the popular belief that VKontakte exclusively copies Facebook, highlighting VK's own innovations and the industry-wide norm of borrowing successful features.
Смысл: The interview serves as a snapshot of the early social media war in Russia, illustrating how Odnoklassniki positioned itself as a nostalgia-driven platform focusing on sustainability and organic growth rather than aggressive expansion or open integration.
Nikita Sherman discusses the growth, monetization, and competitive strategy of Odnoklassniki.Ru while addressing user grievances and the platform's financial stability in 2008.
Смысл: The main idea is that VKontakte's initial attempt to expand globally via a user-referral contest was a clumsy and ineffective strategy that alienated current users without providing a scalable path to international growth.
The author criticizes VKontakte's clumsy promotion to recruit foreign users with iPods as an ineffective strategy for global expansion.
Смысл: The main idea is to debunk the claim that VKontakte's introduction of wishlists was an innovation or a 'world premiere,' arguing instead that it was a delayed implementation of a common industry feature already present in both global and local markets.
The author criticizes VKontakte for claiming its new wishlist feature is a 'world premiere' when such functionality already existed on Facebook, Amazon, and other smaller services.
