The VKontakte social network presented its users with a new feature: now they can create so-called short names of the type vkontakte.ru/name for their pages. The innovation is positioned as the first step towards the creation of a "new generation e-mail", although in practice it seems to be designed to open VKontakter paggistering in a social network. For the sake of fairness, it should be noted that the user has controles to search engines. To begin with, the ability to create short names was open only to a hundred thousand users of the multi-million network, but by the end of this day everyone will be able to use it.
More precisely, everyone who linked their account France Phone Number to a mobile phone number. Users who have chosen a short name on the service will immediately receive a pleasant surprise: their pages will be open to all winds by default. That is, they can be found in search engines, as well as viewed in a browser without logging in or even registering in a social network. For the sake of fairness, it should be noted that the user has control over which of his data will be open - in his profile. However, although it is difficult to say in advance what percentage of VKontakters will go into the privacy settings and consciously set all the necessary parameters, it can be easily predicted that this percentage will be very small. We will remind you that last summer, the American cousin of "VKontakte" - Facebook,
messed up something similar. And also with the possibility of indexing pages with short names in search engines. And by the end of the year, this social network completely made life easier for its users, "simplifying" privacy settings so the creator of Facebook. At the same time, the management of "VKntakte" assures that the introduction of short names is necessary for the future creation of e-mail boxes of th will be a "new generation" mail (so they say), and its advancement will consist of integration with personal messages and cloning of the Gmail spam filter. "Users will be able to easily filter mrnal VKontakte messages. In this connection, the question arises about the conditions under which Google gave VKontakte its anti-spam technology. Of course, it is quite possible that we are talking about a banal purchase and sale - and we probably would not have suspected otherwise, if it were not for the side effect in the form of the openness of user pages
