Russian Facebook uses Facebook.com sourcecode?

The story of Russian Facebook (vkontakte.ru) began a year ago, when it was just a small regular Russian internet startup for students and graduates – a social network with no significant strrengthts or weaknesses.

The site began to grow and attract visitors rapidly, from time to time introducing wonderful new features: graffiti wall paintings, photo albums, video posting etc. Strange and, surely, *occasionally*, these features corresponded directly with facebook.com features, one of the most popular social network on the global market.

These *innovations* greatly helped the site to succeed: now it is positioned as a third biggest site in russian segment of internet with over 2,5 mln unique members.It’s always a joy to see how *innovation* and adherence to the *business etiquette* help a small startup to grow and prosper.
