More and more different startups are appearing in the Runet space, but few manage to truly capture the attention of users. Social network“It’s a Small World” is one of those projects that managed to win the sympathy of the masses and become one of the most.
Review of the social network “It’s a small world”
Reasons for attractiveness
A special feature of the “It’s a Small World” network is the fact that with its help you can find friends in real life, as they say - offline. Actually, this is the goal of this project - to go beyond the network into real life.
In order to implement this model communication, the developers invited network participants, after registration, to indicate the actual address of work, school and other places that they regularly visit.
After specifying the data, the addresses are linked to a map, which is quite well detailed and allows you to clearly determine where the gym that the network user goes to or his favorite cafe is located.
“It’s a Small World” also has the ability to search by interest, which makes it possible, with skillful use of network resources.
Also in the new social. The network has the opportunity to blog. But not in the format familiar to most. Those who are looking forward to creating a blog in accordance with the best traditions Internet space will be disappointed.
The fact is that the blog in “It’s a Small World” is presented in the form of messages that are tied to the actual location of the user at the time of publishing his thoughts, appearing in a specific place on the Google map. This way, other users will be able to find out what their friend is thinking and where he is currently located.
Such an implementation of the blog idea has a tangible advantage: due to the fact that quite a lot of people publish their thoughts on the Internet indicating their location, it is possible to find your housemates and find out what they think. This greatly simplifies the clarification of various everyday issues.
For example, nothing prevents you from seeing which Internet provider is most popular in a particular home or area, as well as getting feedback from those who use its services and avoiding it. In a word, it is now not at all difficult to keep abreast of the life of your home and area, without even leaving your favorite apartment.
Such blogs are more like forums in which various topics related to a specific region or area are raised and discussed.
Users of the “It’s a Small World” network also have access to attributes that have long become familiar, for example, adding a photo. In this case, photographs, like messages, are tied to a specific geographical point where the user took the pictures.
It would be a stretch to call such a service a strength of the network, since there are quite a few projects where this idea is implemented at a much better level. However, in totality, all the information available to the network user allows you to quickly find people with common interests and keep abreast of events in your city. 
Relevance of the idea
Evaluating the idea of the developers of “It’s a Small World,” we can say that they chose the right direction.
Modern social networks are taking their users further and further from reality: many teenagers strive to be popular online, follow the likes on their photos, and create various communities on the Internet.
However, all this activity has minimal impact on real life. “It’s a small world,” in turn, allows everyone who registers and provides their details to enrich their life outside the network, expanding the range of their interests and real acquaintances.
In addition, through access to reviews and comments from city residents, you can learn a lot about its (city’s) infrastructure, interesting places, entertainment, etc.
This is what makes the “It’s a Small World” network unique and practically valuable.
TOUR OPERATOR "VAND - TRAVEL": "FIVE UNIQUE AZORES", June 16-28, 2019Ukraine – Russia: the end of civilization?
For more than 20 years, I have heard rumors that Ukrainians refuse to check into hotels where Russians are staying. And if fate forces us to meet, they get into a fight. I didn't believe it. Like, slander. Ukraine is my love. Through my grandfather I am almost Ukrainian. As a journalist, I took a business trip to Ukraine at the first opportunity. Kindest, very hardworking people. How can they not love someone, much less hate someone?
But now I’m going with a tourist group to the Azores. During lunch, I find myself at the table in the company of three Ukrainians from Kharkov. I was happy, we started talking. We immediately found a common language with Sergei based on our preference for red wine. After another toast, I jokingly ask him:
- Well, are Western nationalists rampaging around here?
- Nobody is committing outrages and there are no nationalists in Ukraine.
- Who recently demolished the monument to Zhukov in Kharkov?
- So what, that's normal.
- But Zhukov is a national hero of all former Union. The American moneybags, who can only dream and see how to pit Ukrainians against Russians, have clearly tried their best.
- Uh, stop nodding at the Americans, suddenly one of the Ukrainians eagerly joins the conversation. – Where the Americans have gone, there is peace, tranquility and prosperity. And where the Russian boot has stepped, it’s a complete ass.
This was said by a seemingly intelligent woman, and all the other compatriots nodded their heads in unison.
So, it was not Ukrainian nationalists in Odessa who burned fifty local residents alive and have been continuously bombing and killing civilians in Donbass and Lugansk for five years now. Is this also “normal and there are no nationalists in Ukraine”? And the Americans brought peace, tranquility and prosperity to Libya (especially to Gaddafi, who was torn to shreds), Yugoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan, dozens of other states around the world, and are now persistently “bringing prosperity” to El Salvador. Everywhere the local population, benefited by the Americans, is coughing up blood. And they will cough while the silk American slipper “helps” them. And Syria, where the Yankees were one step away from legitimizing and bringing to power the terrorist so-called state they had grown, banned throughout the world. At the very last moment, the “Russian boot” stopped sacrilege.
After a unanimous rebuff from the dinner companions, the discussion had to be stopped. There is no method against scrap. This means that the hostile attitude of Ukrainians towards Russians really exists. Moreover, it blossomed wildly even among elderly (like my neighbors) Ukrainians. This means that the American masters of life after the collapse of the USSR did not spend billions in vain on brainwashing our neighbors. Goebbels, with the support of his own and the same American moneybags (it was not for nothing that he poisoned himself and poisoned his own children, the cat whose meat he ate knew) fooled the whole of Germany in ten years. Here, there has been intensive re-education for at least four decades. Yes, the saint, with full conviction, will call black white and vice versa, like my neighbors at the table. And remember the young people who, five years ago, enthusiastically jumped on the Maidan, shouting: “Moskulyak - to Gilyak!” and “Whoever doesn’t jump is a Muscovite!” It turns out that the end of the civilized world is quite possible and not so far away. The Americans practically pushed our heads together. All that remains is to properly arm the neighbors (which is now being done) and strike a match: install missiles on the Russian-Ukrainian border, to which the neighbors, blinded by hatred, will agree with joy. (Remember the joke? Manka, what do you want your neighbor to have twice as much? I wish I would die!). And the trick is in the bag: brothers, beat each other to death until you all die. And after this, the “civilized” West will finally, without noise or dust, take control of both Russian and Ukrainian lands, which they have not been able to do for at least a thousand years. But this time it won’t work either. If it comes to American missiles near Moscow (three minutes of approach), the response will follow immediately and in full. After all, Putin warned that a strike, even an atomic one, would follow not only against the advanced enemy lines (Ukraine and others like them), but also against the masterminds - the puppeteers, that is, the United States. As a result, the entire civilized world will burn in atomic fire. Sadly. Apparently, the fate of Cain and Abel may well repeat itself. And there is no way out of this. Composted brains do not recover quickly, and there is no time left for treatment.
Finally, a few words about the tour itself. I travel around the world a lot. In this diversity, the Azores could remain quite an ordinary phenomenon. If it were not for the great actress of the tourism business of the host country Larisa Plesova (two dots over the e). She convinced the whole group that the Azores are a tourist paradise on earth and the best place in the world. She did something even more incredible. This is what we're talking about. All over the world, host tour operators intensively include viewing of local crafts, museums, and churches in the itinerary. This is done, I think, for only one purpose: to stretch the route as much as possible, to increase the number of days that the tourist pays for. After all, let’s say, a visit to a tea museum takes three hours. The museum ate the same amount of killer whales, whose blubber was used in American lanterns. An hour for travel, an hour for lunch - that’s it, the working day is over. And there are days like this on the route almost every other day. In addition, our brother, first of all, women, as soon as you bring them to some local production, they will definitely buy whole bags of all sorts of goods, even at exorbitant prices compared to the store on the next street (or even in Moscow or any other city in Russia). Again, a profit in foreign currency for their native places (in some countries there are also interest payments to travel agents for bringing in buyers). Many tourists do not like this arrangement. Why do we pay huge amounts of money and travel far away to see local museums and churches? So we have seen them a thousand times at home or in nearby foreign countries. There is no doubt that in the overseas distances we want to see, first of all, outlandish nature, which we do not have and never will have. I understand perfectly well that travel agents make little money, and I want to earn extra money. But as a tourist, I feel sorry not only for the money, not only for the wasted days, but also for many of the interesting things that we could still see. So, in our group, these loads after Larisa’s treatment went like clockwork. The talent of a propagandist is also a talent in Africa. But the magic of Larisa’s charm ends, and again you return to square one: to the broken trough. On the last day, one of the travel agents who replaced Larisa admitted: you haven’t seen all the wonders of nature here, it’s enough for several other trips, so come.
By the way, in this regard, there is yet another action that was handled simply rudely. When transferring “there” in Lisbon, the tour operators gave us more than seven hours of sitting, supposedly to explore the city on our own. Do you think that's it? No matter how it is. On the way back “from there” in the same Lisbon we again self-study cities have been “gifted” for much more than a day! With accommodation in a Lisbon hotel, which also costs a lot of money. Know ours! But experienced tourists are flying to the islands, who have been to Portugal and Lisbon itself more than once, and have studied it like the back of their hand (two hours by bus is enough for this). So, again, purposefully adding extra days? Oh, apparently we will never become civilized people. And, perhaps, Ukrainians will indeed enter Europe before us.
It’s easy to read and look up specific sites on the Azores route on the Internet, which none of my notes can compare with. Vladimir Antonov

Small world
IT'S A SMALL WORLD- what kind of site is hidden under this intriguing name. MirTesen.ru is a new and rather original project, or rather a social network. Despite its youth, almost 16,000,000 people have already registered on the site!

And on MirTesen.ru they will tell and show you everything. :) People write their impressions and reviews about every beautiful place, this is also very interesting and useful. And this can be useful, for example, because knowing what places people like, one can draw certain conclusions about the person himself, about his character and inner world.
Returning to the previous point - how else could this be useful to you? It’s simple - you can find out what your friends’ favorite places are, where they like to go and you might want to join them.
