That's true in any country, and in any industry. Momentum is hugely important, and us hacker types tend to forget that. While we love to try new things out and always ready to switch, most people are content with the things they use, the things they regularly buy, and will only switch if social pressure compels them to.
- photorized 14y agoSocial pressure, exactly. And in countries like Russia, it's much harder to manipulate it. They love their Livejournal and vk.ru, and their Nokia phones (sometimes to a fault - Nokia is closing all stores in Russia), and they don't use Google or Facebook. Google tried and failed, now FB is trying. And Zuckerberg won't be able to solve this one, without some M&A. Fascinating.
