Profy Blogging Platform: Novosibirsk Startup in the American Market

The largest western resource dedicated to startups, TechCrunch wrote about a new platform blogerskogo Profy from the eponymous American company Profy, Inc. It is curious that this California startup is of Russian origin . Director - Ilya Korsun, developers and managers - Oleg Tokarev and Svetlana Gladkova. They all live in Novosibirsk.

Profy platform combines WYSIWYG text editor, RSS reader and social network. For authors on the site there are many templates. You can add other bloggers to your circle of friends, exchange private messages and chat. Profy blog example and screenshots can be found here.. Now the system is undergoing closed alpha testing, and the number of testers is limited to a hundred people.

Western commentators doubt the special prospects of this kind of startup. “Does the world need another blogging platform?” - the author asks with TechCrunch. “I don’t know, but let's give the Russians a chance.”
