When I began making my profile on VK I thought I was making a second Facebook account. This nearly identical site is a little underdeveloped when compared to facebook, and in some areas more developed.
Included in this Facebook look-a-like is a profile page, friends, photos, groups, messages, notes, music, events, and setting options. Additionaly it has an instant message feature and applications feature.
The 'wall' on the profile page has a unique feature called grafitti. This allows you to write on others walls but rather than using the keyboard to type a message, you can use a 'spray paint can' to draw or write on the wall.
One area that seems a bit more developed than facebook is the people search application. From here a list of random people will appear, but then you can begin to sort results by changing the long list of critera. For example, you can sort by country, sex, relationship status, age, religous views, schools, military, and much more. I found this particular feature helpful when I began to browse through profiles, because all of the conversation, information, gossip, etc. was in Russian. Therefore, using this feature I was able to find people who use the English language.
Shortly after making a profile, there was already activity happening. I had five group invitations, similar to group or event invitations on Facebook. In looking at the invitations, they were sent from random people, all who spoke a different language.
