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

VKontakte (and other social networks) 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, you can also create a page with information about prices and working conditions. If you sell a product of your own production (for example, 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! 🙂

Switch language

You can change the language. The choice is large: Russian, English, German and others. But there are also more exotic/fun ones. For example, pre-revolutionary or Belarusian. Try it yourself. At the top right, click on your profile, select Settings. Language - Change. And there, from a large list, you can choose whatever you want. We recommend trying Prerevolutionary.

Leave an empty field

There is an option to fill out your profile in the Careers section, but leave most of the fields blank. To do this, go to Edit Profile. Then in all lines (section Career) we insert a set of characters:

Confidentiality

In order for you not to be found by your phone number on VKontakte, you need to go to Settings - Privacy - Contact me. There, in the line: “Who can find me when importing contacts by number +37529 ******”, select “Only me”.

Disable ads

Are you probably annoyed by intrusive advertising on VKontakte? It's time to turn it off once and for all. Just download and install the Adblock plus extension for Firefox or Chrome. Activate all filters by default, and advertising will disappear not only on VKontakte, but also on other sites. How nice and easy to read the news without ads. Thank you Adblock.

We listen to music

There is a lot of music on VKontakte. Lots of good music. There are new items coming out quickly. But we want to listen to it not only on the site, but also in a smartphone, car, and generally without the Internet. No problems. We go to a special site, it will ask you for authorization, allow it and start downloading! Enter the desired song in the search and go!

We are changing the design

Do you want to refresh the design of your page a little? Or are you a little tired of the classic VKontakte design? There is nothing easier. You can change the theme of the site to your liking. This design will be visible only to you. To do this, you need to go to the site and install the extension for Chrome / Firefox. Then, in the same place on the site, select the theme you like and click "Apply". Here's what happens in the end:

News updates

In the "News" you can sometimes get a lot of necessary and not very information. How about seeing a list of the people your friends have added today? We click the News section, then Updates on the side. Voila! Now we see exactly who your friends have added to the list of friends.

privacy

If you are a very private person and value privacy, you can hide your page completely. Users will only be able to see your main photo. To do this, let's go to Settings - Privacy. Next, select "Who sees the basic information of my page", mark "Only Me". Ready!

blocking

If you need to completely hide from one person, it is enough to block him. Go to his Profile and select - Block. Now he will not be able to write to you, see your photos, friends and information about you.

Hiding friends

By default, all VKontakte users can see all your friends. Some people find it convenient, some don't. VKontakte stands for openness. We stand for confidentiality. It is possible to hide certain (but not all) friends. To do this, go to Settings - Privacy. There, click on the item "Who is visible in the list of my friends and subscriptions", select "Show all friends except". Choose the friends you want to hide. Ready!

Postponed publication

To publish a note or photo on your page at a specific time, there is a useful feature - Delayed publication. It's easy to launch. We go into the interface for writing a message, then click "More" - "Timer". There we select the date and time of publication of the message.

Security

If you suspect that someone is following you and is secretly logging into your account, it will not be difficult to check this. We go to the section Settings - Security - Show activity history. There you will see the IP address, country, time and device type from which you have logged in to VKontakte the last few times. Clear and accessible. If you see some strange IP addresses from other countries, and you yourself are in Belarus - a reason to think and change your passwords.

Free votes

There we will be offered to play various online games, reach a certain level and get our free votes. Why not?

Mention

If you want to mention someone in your wall post, you can do it in a similar way to Twitter, use @. For example, like this: @Petrov

Changing the page address

Secrets and loopholes are constantly closing, so hurry up to take advantage before the shop is closed. Item No. 10 doesn’t plow in my opinion.

1) View photos / videos / groups on a closed page
You can view photos from closed pages if only the user's page is closed. That is, if he went into the settings and in the tab “ privacy” has forbidden only viewing his page, but not photos and videos.

To view photos/videos/groups on a closed page, you must:

1. To use this tip, first find out the ID of the person whose photos/videos/groups you would like to view. To do this, find him on the resource and hover over the “Message” link to the right of this person’s avatar. Even if the page is hidden, hovering over the browser status bar (bottom of the screen) will display a link containing the user ID. The link will be of the following type: “http://vkontakte.ru/mail.php?act=write&to=27026? The last few digits are the desired ID.

2. To view the user's photo albums (provided that he/she has hidden only the page, and not the photos themselves), you must insert the link “http://vkontakte.ru/photos.php?id=ID” into the browser line ( where the site address is) and instead of “ID” enter the user number. Press "Enter" or the "Go" button in the browser.

3. To view “Photos with me” on a hidden page (provided that only the page is hidden, and not the photos themselves), insert the link “http://vkontakte.ru/photos.php?act=user&id=ID”… Further chain action described above.

4. To view “Videos with me” on a hidden page, insert a link
“http://vkontakte.ru/video.php?act=tagview&id=ID” and follow the already familiar algorithm.

The “Enter” key should be pressed only after you have replaced the ID in the links above with the unique number of the person whose photo you would like to see.

2) Tag all your friends in the photo

1. It's quite simple - you just need to upload photos to your page. After that, go to the page of the photo on which you want to tag friends and then click "Mark".

2. The next step is to paste the code below into the browser's address bar. You only need to insert it on the page where you clicked the “Mark” button. You need to insert this code:

javascript:(function()(function getPhotoInfo()(if(res = /(+)_(\d+)/.exec(location.href))return (”mid”: res, “pid”: res);else return (”mid”: 0, “pid”: 0);)p_mark = function(i)(if(i >= window.friends.length)(ge('rotating').innerHTML = “

All friends have been marked on this photo!

”;clearTimeout(timerID);return;)request_uri = “/photos.php?act=put&pid=”+mid+”_”+pid+”&id=”+mid+”&oid=0&subject=”+window.friends[i]. id+”&name=”+encodeURI(window.friends[i].name)+”&add=1&x=0&y=0&x2=100&y2=100?;img = new Image();img.src = request_uri;ge('commentArea' ).innerHTML = (i+1) + ” of ” + window.friends.length + ” friends have been marked!”;timerID = setTimeout(”p_mark(” + (i+1) + “)”, 500); );p_markall = function()(if(!confirm(”Are you sure want to mark all friends?\r\n\r\n\r\nBugs & Thanks: http://vkontakte.ru/note8009721?oid= 5500005?)) return;ge('rotating').innerHTML = "

Processing
Please wait…

”;ajax = new Ajax(function(a,r)(eval(r);window.friends = fr; p_mark(0);), function(a,r)(alert(”Request problem. Try again”); ));ajax.get(”/photos.php?act=get”););if(!(location.href.match(/vkontakte.ru/) && location.href.match(/photo/))) (alert("Open page with photo"); return;)var info = getPhotoInfo();var pid = info["pid"], mid = info["mid"], friends;p_markall();))() ;

3. Press “Enter” and wait until all friends are checked in. Approximately 100 friends are tagged in one hundred seconds at a speed of 1 Mbps.

3) Tag all friends in the video

1. Upload the video to your page, click "Mark" to display the list of friends.

2. Paste the code below into the address bar of the browser on the page where you clicked “Mark”. You need to insert this code:

javascript:for(blabla=0;blabla<5000;blabla++){ var elem = document.getElementById(’f’+blabla); if(elem == null) break; elem.onclick(); }

3) Press "Enter" and wait, as in the previous paragraph.

4. We write the last name from a new line

Do you want to stand out in front of your friends with an unusual location of the full name. "In contact with"? If you follow the instructions, then there will be no problems.

1) Go to the “My Settings” page and right-click on the white background, and in the menu that appears, click “View HTML Code” (for Internet Explorer) or “View Source Code” (for Mozila Firefox and Opera).

2) On the page of the code that opens, look for the word “hash”. To do this, press "Ctrl + F", and in the search menu that opens, type the word "hash" and press "Enter", after which the word will be found. To the right of this word there will be a character set of the form name=”hash” value=”b30c18eb04804775accfbbdb2bd53678?. It is necessary to copy the set of characters enclosed in quotes after the word “value” - this is the hash. Let's copy it to notepad! The character set for each account is unique.

3) On the “VKontakte” page “My settings”, insert the link “http://vkontakte.ru/settings.php?m=15&hash=HASH&act=change_nickname&subm=1&nickname=NICK” into the address bar of the browser. In the given link, we change the word “hash” to the same set of characters that was copied, and then we replace the word “NIC” at the end of the link with any desired nickname (nickname, middle name, etc.), after which we press the “Enter” key ".

5) Find out the age of a person by birthday

1) We look at the day and month of a person’s birth on his VKontakte page - we remember or write it down.
2) Open the calendar - "http://vkontakte.ru/events.php?act=calendar".
3) We are looking for the right month, the right day, we find this person in the calendar, hover over his avatar, after which a tooltip appears below, showing the name of this person and his age in brackets.

6. Bookmark the person who hid their page

1) Find out the ID of this person.

3) Replace “ID” with a unique user number.
4) Press the “Enter” key, after which strange characters will appear. We press “Back”, and after that the person is already bookmarked.

7. We look at the history of statuses if a person does not have a status

8. How to make a status in a column?

This is best done using the Opera browser or using the VKStatus program.

1) Open Opera and go to your VKontakte page. We right-click anywhere on the page and select the “Source code” item from the context menu. After that, press “Ctrl + F”, and in the search menu that opens, paste the view code - .
