Good afternoon friends. In this article, we will consider the possibilities of the VKontakte social network. What does this social network do, what set of tools and functionality for users does it have? Let's talk about this in more detail and make a kind of review so that you can clearly see everything that Contact can do.

The possibilities of VKontakte today are truly amazing. Every year there is something new. This is no longer just communication or the exchange of news and media files, this is a real virtual life. No wonder they say that modern doctors have identified even this type of addiction - addiction to social networks. Nowadays, part of our life has been moved to the virtual world on the web, and it's hard to do anything about it. So let's go... Let's see what kind of virtual life it is and what you can do there 🙂

What are the capabilities of VKontakte

Communication: sending messages, creating news in groups, commenting

In the social network "VKontakte" you can communicate in any way convenient for you. First, the easiest is between two people or a group of users (). This is, so to speak, private communication in a narrow circle of people. For example, you can chat with a friend or create a group conversation of interest. Any conversation has a wide range of functions - from elementary sending messages (by the way, messages can be not only text, but also voice) to attaching media files (photos, videos and audio materials), sending gifts, marking places on maps and expressing emotions using emoticons and stickers.

Second way is a commentary. You can comment on anything - be it a photo, video, news or. Thus, communication can also take place in the form of a discussion. For example, someone posted a video, or some news. You left a comment under it, then another person commented, etc. Thus, communication is built in the form of discussions of any materials or news.

Third way communication - creating news in groups and on public pages. You can convey any information to people with the help, create a poll and provoke a discussion. This method is directly related to the second method and provides great opportunities to discuss anything.

As we can see, the possibilities of communication on VKontakte are almost limitless and are available to any user of the social network 🙂

Search for new acquaintances

Many use social networks as a platform for new acquaintances. It can be romantic acquaintances, search for people by interests, search for business partners or services or goods. We will talk about how to search for people on VKontakte in the next article. In the meantime, one thing can be said - the opportunities for meeting and finding old acquaintances and friends in VK are truly endless. You can find new acquaintances by interests and hobbies, and maybe even find your soul mate. You can search both simply through the search, and by various parameters. You can also find new acquaintances by interests through thematic groups and public pages.

Create and share media files

The possibilities of social networks are not limited to one communication. Here you can upload your own photos or videos, upload music or . It should be remembered that all media files you upload are shared, unless you restrict access to them in the page settings. Since the visual part during communication is also very important, most users will see a lot of photo albums reflecting their life. Previously, we went to visit to see photos, now it’s enough to go to the person’s page and go to the “Photo” section. The same can be done with videos. A distinctive feature of social networks is that all media files can not only be uploaded, but also shared - for example. in news, comments or private messages. You can also comment on photos and videos, which takes the communication process to a new level.

Use of social media content

On VKontakte (and on other social networks as well), you can easily listen to music, watch some videos or even entire films, find the documents or photos you need. This is good because you do not need third-party sites or resources. Communicating in VK, you can simultaneously listen to music or watch a movie here. All this is done to ensure that the needs of people are satisfied within the same site, and the person stays on one resource for as long as possible without resorting to the help of others.

Creation of groups, public pages and news. Spread of information

VKontakte can truly be called a huge news portal. Every day in groups and public pages, as well as on the walls of users, a great variety of different news is created. Thus, a huge amount of information is spinning on the social network. Many active users of Contact now do not even go to news sites - it is enough to subscribe to several large news groups to receive the latest news instantly. In addition, any news can be distributed through repost. For example, imagine that a person is missing, and information about the missing person is posted in the search engine group. Caring people repost the entry to themselves (in simple words, post it on their wall, in their group, or send the news in a personal message). Thus, there is an unceasing dissemination of information.

Sale of goods or services

Many people create mini-shops on social networks or advertise goods or services in their own groups. Imagine, for example, that you are a wedding photographer. You can easily create a group where you will post your work, and there you can also create a page with information about prices and working conditions. If you're selling a product of your own making (such as self-baked cakes), you can post photos of your culinary delights, descriptions, and prices in the group. With modern means of Contact, you can even advertise and promote your products and services. Here we discover another great feature of social networks - a wonderful platform for advertising and business.

games and applications

Are you bored on the road or in line? VKontakte is full of all sorts of games and applications that will help brighten up your leisure time. Previously, there were “Tetris” and “well, wait a minute”, but now one smartphone and registration on a social network are enough, and you will find any game to your taste.

The possibilities of Vkontakte are impressive!

Isn't it impressive?! From all of the above, we can conclude that the possibilities of VKontakte are really endless. Here you can do whatever you want. No wonder social media is so popular these days. And it’s true - it’s only worth it, and you have a powerful tool on your computer or smartphone with which you can do almost anything. VKontakte has a lot of tools and opportunities, which ones to use for you is up to you. Perhaps you will limit yourself to chatting with friends, maybe you will make VK the main source of news for you or a launching pad for business. You decide! All in your hands! Welcome to the huge and virtual world called "VKontakte"! (:good:)

Restrictions "VKontakte"

The social network has limits on some actions, such as a limit on the number of audio and video recordings on your page, a limit on the maximum number of friends, or a maximum message length. If you are interested, please follow the link below https://vk.com/page-28894382_49349878) you can see the full list of Vkontakte restrictions. And here we present the most important of them:

  • the maximum number of audio recordings on your page is 6000, you can upload no more than 50 per day;
  • no more than 5000 videos can be uploaded to the page, the maximum size of one video is 2GB;
  • the maximum number of communities that a user can subscribe to is 5000, and you can also invite no more than 40 people to your group per day;
  • The maximum number of friends is 10,000 people. You can send no more than 50 friend requests per day;
  • maximum message length - 4096 characters, attachments to the message - no more than 10;
  • you cannot upload more than 200 photos to the site at a time, the maximum weight of one photo is 5Mb;
  • the number of hours during which you can edit a post on your wall - 24;

What can not be done on social networks?

Finally, I want to talk about what you can’t (or shouldn’t) do on social networks. Naturally, it is always worth remembering that there are restrictions provided for by the legislation of the Russian Federation, and simply by ethical standards. So, below is a small list of prohibitions and restrictions for VKontakte users.

  • insult other people;
  • upload materials prohibited by the legislation of the Russian Federation: related to weapons, drugs, pornography, violence, etc.;
  • incite ethnic hatred, divulge state secrets, provoke riots or hostility, etc.
  • promote extremism and terrorism;
  • openly discuss prohibited topics;
  • post prohibited symbols (for example, Nazi);
  • slander other people;

And if you just think logically, then in social networks you can’t do everything that you can’t do in ordinary life. Social networks are created for communication and information exchange, business advertising and product promotion, and not for some “dirty” and unkind deeds.

In the next article, we will learn. We wish you pleasant communication! 🙂

There is hardly a VKontakte user who would not want to read a private message from someone so that the sender does not know about it. For example, because you do not have the time or desire to immediately respond to a person. There is an easy way to do this. Paste the link into the address bar http://vk.com/im?q=day:31122014 , where numbers are dates in the format DD:MM:YYYY. Instead of these numbers, you enter another date until which all messages will be displayed, including unread ones. You will be able to read them, while they will remain unread status.

Back to the conversation

Sometimes we can leave the dialogue in our hearts, in which we were added, but over time realize how hasty and doubtful this decision was. Fortunately, there is always a way to add back, even if you deleted the correspondence and no longer see it on your own.

But let's start with a simple case - if you just left the conversation. To do this, you need to go into it, click "Actions" and in the drop-down menu find the item "Return to the conversation." Only and everything.

If you managed to delete the correspondence, then even in this case you can return, but you have to find it first. To do this, paste the link into the address bar

How quickly time passes. For almost a year I have been registered in contact. I don’t use classmates, because they are too commercialized, and another story connects me with them. To date, the monthly audience of social networks has tens of millions of people. For example, the number of unique visitors to social networks Facebook and MySpace in January 2009 exceeded 90 million people. That's about one-third of all US residents. Interestingly, the social networks of Runet, the leaders among which are VKontakte and Odnoklassniki, have been steadily approaching their Western counterparts over the past few months. The total number of registered users of the social networks VKontakte and Odnoklassniki currently totals about 25 million people.
According to analytical companies involved in the statistical analysis of online trends, in January 2009 the number of unique visitors to VKontakte for the first time exceeded that of Odnoklassniki. During the specified period of time, the attendance of VKontakte amounted to 13.09 million people, and Odnoklassniki - 13 million. Of course, the gap is minimal, but, nevertheless, it says a lot. The report was provided by TNS Web Index.
Currently, the databases of these resources are an extremely tasty morsel - it's hard to even imagine how much personal information is there. It is no secret that among ordinary users of the social network there are movie stars, show business, famous politicians. All these people usually prefer to hide their data - and in their account they also keep their data private from prying eyes. However, what is closed by one person may well be open by another - after all, social networks are just a set of code symbols that were created by people. You can find out some secrets of social network users, no matter how they close their personal information.

If so, then let's start researching possible approaches to the classified data of users of the VKontakte social network.

So, here is a list of what thousands of thousands of VKontakte users want:
