My last post<\/a> about Odnoklassniki.ru<\/a> became the most popular post on this blog. It’s by far more popular than all the tips, links, and tutorials that I’ve written here, combined. It comes up pretty high in related Google search results and brings quite a bit of traffic. It also brings in some comments.<\/p>\n

Most of the comments are from people who mistakenly assume that this blog is some sort of support forum for all the troubles they have with Odnoklassniki.ru, or, even, that this site IS in itself Odnoklassniki.ru. I am trying to limit those comments, since they don’t belong here. On the other hand though, there are some really insightful comments.<\/p>\n

For example, Gennadiy Zaretskiy has recently posted a comment<\/a> with the link to this article<\/a>. Here is what caught my attention:<\/p>\n

Foreign users constitute a significant share of the project “Odnoklassniki” audience. According to Mr. Popkov, about 20% of the traffic comes from abroad.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Wow! “20% of the traffic comes from abroad<\/strong>“. That seems like a lot. Odnoklassniki.ru web site is in Russian. Only Russian-speaking folks can make use of it. Also, the whole topic of the classmates is tied very much into specifically Russian users. So, does that mean that about 20% of computer literate (at least to some deree), educated (at least to some degree) young (mostly) people either live, study, or work outside of Russia?<\/p>\n

That. Seems. Like. A. Lot.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
