2010 Runet Prize or Tina Kandelaki's Twitter PR

    Last night, November 25, among other members of the expert council, we were at the Runet Prize award ceremony, in fact, I would like to share my impressions.



    This event took place almost in the very center of Moscow, and already on the way to the Oktyabr cinema (which is on Novy Arbat, if anyone doesn’t know) there were cars with plates broadcasting the ceremony and showing the importance of this event. At the entrance, at the very bottom of the stairs, pretty girls stood next to the security guard, making sure that no one passed through, of course, the entrance was by invitation cards (which, by the way, were originally made on thick cardboard), on top was a crowd of journalists and the press , which filmed on camera and photographed almost everyone who went up.

    Going inside, the first thing that caught my eye was the DJs at the table of the Runet Prize. Music played loudly, girls from "mail.ru" carried champagne to guests. A press conference was held nearby, which was hardly heard by anyone because of loud music.



    The host of the ceremony was a journalist from Ekho Moskvy Alexander Plushenko and Tina Kandelaki, who didn’t part with the iPad they handed over to the event, and Tina, in addition, demonstratively showed everyone her new iPhone 4, with which she was photographed on stage and spoke with her mother during the broadcast.

    The ceremony was, as promised, somewhat "different," or as they said in the advertisement, "this time everything will be different." At the very beginning, the Runet Prize was opened by the Minister of Communications and Mass Media Igor Shchegolev, whom the presenters first of all asked themselves to demonstratively photograph on Tina’s iPhone.

    The whole #premiaruneta ceremony was very similar to a solid twitter-wall, the hosts said the word “Twitter” at least 20 times. Also, for the first time in the history of Runet, Tina Kandelaki sent a live tweet, after which many of those present in the hall also decided to “light up” on the screen. President Dmitry Medvedev also sent his congratulations via Twitter to the winners, which was shown to everyone present on the big screen. "Unfortunately, . Therefore, in absentia. Well done, good luck to you! ) ", which everyone was very happy about.




    There were some overlays, then the WiFi Internet stopped working on the leading mobile devices, the names of the winners appeared earlier or later than the time, in general, as happened with the site of the Dynamo hockey club Moscow - the name of the project in general, they forgot to write, which only made me smile in the hall. Every 5-10 minutes, the presenter suggested following his colleague Tina Kandelaki on Twitter, which in the end was no longer funny to anyone.

    As a result, though crumpled, the presenters named the winners in six categories : "The state and general TVO "," Culture and Communication "," Science and Education "," Economy and Business "," Health and Leisure "," Technology and Innovation "

    The best among the projects on state and society were recognized by the ANO "Coordination Center of the National Domain of the Internet" www.cctld.ru , the volunteer project "Map of assistance to victims of fires" www.russian-fires.ru and the portal for the protection of children on the Internet "Home Alone" " www.odindoma.org

    For achievements in the field of culture and mass communications, golden figurines were received by the BBC Russian Service www.bbcrussian.com , the national project You Are a Reporter www.reporter.rian.ru and the project www.ivi.ru

    B in the field of “Science and Education”, the sites on the fundamental science “Elements” www.elementy.ru and “Russian Wikipedia” became the best and I"(last year’s laureate).

    In the fourth nomination - for the best project in economics and business - the winners were OZON online store www.ozon.ru , the My Business accounting service website www.moedelo.org and the Sravni.ru portal www.sravni.ru

    The portal “Health and Leisure” won the portal on a healthy lifestyle “Takzdorovo.ru” www.takzdorovo.ru , the portal of the St. Petersburg Vodokanal “Da-voda” www.da-voda.com , “Gastronom.ru” www.gastronom.ru and special nomination Dynamo HC website www.dynamo.ru

    Laureates in the "Technology and Innovation" nominationwww.mail.ru and the project "COMDI meetings online" www.comdi.com

    In addition, this year the organizing committee of the competition established a special nomination dedicated to the Year of the Teacher in Russia. In the framework of this nomination, the winners were the projects "Diary.ru" www.dnevnik.ru , "Philology.net" www.filologii.net and the project of the Department of Education and Science of the Kemerovo Region "Say thanks to your teacher" www.edu.kem.ru

    Prize Yevgeny Kaspersky received the special nomination “National Heritage”, and among the winners of the popular vote, the game “Legend. Legacy of the dragons » www.dwar.mail.ru

    Each nomination was supplemented by the words of Alexander Pluschev about the need to follow Tina Kandelaki on Twitter. As a result, it was either PR of Tina and her twitter, or the award of the Runet Prize.
    In general, I liked the Prize, but I think that last year it was better. Well, let's see what will happen in 2011, time will tell.
