.RU domain zone turns 17 !
The ccTLD .RU turned last week, on 7 April 2011, 17 years. For 17 years ccTLD .RU has gained momentum and now boasts 3,000.000-plus domain names, the 6th position in the global ranking of CCTLDs worldwide and a leader in terms of growth rates among the biggest CCTLDs (23% annually)!

Social media isn’t always as social as its name would imply
Social media isn’t always as social as its name would imply. For example, you can have conversations with people online and really not know them at all personally.
It’s possible that you’ve had a really deep and meaningful conversation on Twitter or Facebook with someone in your niche that you greatly respect, but if you passed them on the street you wouldn’t even recognize them, let alone stop and chat.
WebProNews spoke with IZEA CEO Ted Murphy recently about how sometimes, it just helps to pull back from the social media and really get social. It also helps to pull back if you want to create original content. That doesn’t mean stop using social media. It means don’t be strapped down by it.
