MAIL.RU IS A VERY VERY GOOD INTERNET NETWORKING SERVICE IN RUSSIA...THE BEST OF BREED REALLY.
IT COMBINES EVERYTHING...EMAIL, BLOGGING ...A SOCIAL NETWORKING WEB PAGE ("MY WORLD") WITH UPLOAD CAPACITY FOR PHOTOS, VIDEO, INSTANT MESSAGING, PLUS ON SITE SEARCH CAPABILITY AND OTHER "GOODIES"...
MAIL.RU IS THE FACEBOOK OF RUSSIA RIGHT NOW...AND IN MANY WAYS IT SURPASSES FACEBOOK...YOUTUBE...AND MYSPACE...
IT HAS ALL THE BELLS AND WHISTLES OF THE AMERICAN SITES...WITH A FEW EXTRAS...
BUT YOU NEED AN ACCOUNT TO "GET IN"...AND IT'S ALL IN RUSSIAN...?
BUT SINCE CYRILLIC IS NOT ALLOWED IN INTERNET URLS...MOST RUSSIANS NEED TO PICK ROMANIZED NAMES...TO PASS THROUGH THE INTERNET "CLOUD"...
MAIL.RU IS SORT OF THE YAHOO-MSN-FACEBOOK-MYSPACE OF RUSSIA AND THE CYRILLIC CIS...
