For Western users with ties to Russia and former Russian territories, or if you're from Russia and want to download a good social media app, OK.RU is basically the Russian equivalent of Facebook and gives you a robust social media network that is very feature rich and user friendly.
Looking a the OK.RU App in More Detail
While it's true that sites like Facebook and Twitter are among the most popular social networks in the world, and also that they cater to much of the entire planet, it's still also true that they're decidedly American sites that simply allow other people to join. Many people outside of America want their own types of social networks that are geared much more to their own countries and cultures. And for Russians who want this type of network, the OK.RU app is a great download for your Android mobile device. In essence, this app is a virtual clone of Facebook and has an audience primarily consisting of Russians, Georgians, Armenians, and Moldavians. The features are basically the same as Facebook; only the audience is different. You can still publish posts, post on other people's walls, share your photos and videos, like other people's content, and everything else you can do with Facebook.
This Russian-based app differs in the way advertising will be displayed on the pages, but that might actually be a good thing if you're not a fan of ads spammed all over the place. It also doesn't cater much to an English-speaking audience, so there's really no point to get the app unless you are Russian, speak Russian, or one of the associated languages from neighboring countries.
