Another social network, Odnoklassniki , was launched in Russia . In just one year of its existence, the site (which did not have a mobile version or application, like all the others) attracted an audience of 4 million people, becoming the most popular in the country.
During the first years of its work, Odnoklassniki was much more popular than VKontakte, but gradually lost ground: the interface was too simple and the functions were outdated (for example, the philippines telegram phone number list rating “I think it’s cool!” ), as well as the dominance of jingoism were not interesting to young users, who switched to competitors. Today, the site’s traffic is falling, but it still attracts a good audience, which is distinguished by its age – over 40 years old.

As a Harvard student, Mark Zuckerberg created a dating site in 2003 that quickly shut down due to security breaches. A year later, he launched Facebook (which is banned in Russia) , and by 2015, the social network had amassed an audience of 1 billion users.
The functionality has expanded significantly: verification of stars, the ability to make calls, make online payments, put a like and much more. Today, the social network is one of the most popular in the world, collecting about 2 billion users monthly and earning more than $86 billion a year on advertising.
