Russian Facebook

There are many “facebook clones” out there. But this website – V-kon-tak-te (trans: in touch/contact), is a successful one. Started in 2007 in Russia, it has gained much popularity within the ‘iron curtain’ region. Recently, it broke the ‘Berlin wall’ and began to offer its website in many more languages to people as far – well, look at the list below.

VK has kept it simple, like facebook from the founder’s dorm room.

Games for Girls?

I came across this website (www.girlgames.com) and found it to be absolutely pathetic – right enough word? I only have one question for the creators and its visitors: Is it really what girls/women need to play, find entertaining or spend their time on?

Chew on that, but also look at the statistics of its visitors:

Based on internet averages, girlgames.com is visited more frequently by females who are in the age range 35-44, have children, have no college education and browse this site from home. (source)

 

Still from one of their 'popular' games
