Musings Of A Marketer » hi5 http://www.nastaev.com Blog By Zalim Nastaev Tue, 07 Feb 2012 11:36:27 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 Hi5 Introduces Russian Interface http://www.nastaev.com/2008/03/09/hi5-introduces-russian-interface/ http://www.nastaev.com/2008/03/09/hi5-introduces-russian-interface/#comments Sat, 08 Mar 2008 22:05:17 +0000 Zalim http://www.nastaev.com/index.php/2008/03/09/hi5-introduces-russian-interface/ While MySpace are still looking for their staff, another network – Hi5 – are welcoming the Russian audience with the newly introduced interface in Russian. But even these guys have been late, the Russian extention Hi5.ru being already booked by cybersquatters.

The company quotes the E-marketer’s article expecting Russia to be the 2nd biggest Internet population in Europe, following Germany. Add to this all the Russian-speaking population in the countries of former Soviet Union, and the attractiveness of the audience becomes quite obvious.

Good move from one of the world’s most popular social networking sites. This should add to their network of users, especially considering the slowliness of their competition.
