Vkontakte.ru, the leading social network in most Russian speaking countries with 33 million unique users daily, has been renamed VK.com. The site has moved to http://vk.com. Old links to vkontakte.ru still work, but will open vk.com pages.
The new domain name is easier to type on a mobile device, hard to misspell, easier for international users and “looks good on ads and business cards,” VK.com explains.
Available in 75 languages, the site counts more than 150 million registered users worldwide.
