Dec 11/mic review+IRC chat w. Channy
|
| Portuguese (pt-BR)
|
|
|
|
| Russian (ru)
|
- Search: Google, Yandex, Price.ru, RU Filesearch, Wikipedia, Yahoo, Yandex.Lingvo
- Remove Yahoo (psn 6) add Rambler
- swamp Yandex.Lingvo with Yandex.Slovari
- RSS Reader: Яндекс.Лента, Kanban, Bloglines, My Yahoo, Google Reader
|
- Rambler better local search and popular portal with older demographic; Yahoo not good for Russian searches and not popular
- Yandex.Slovari is similar service to Lingvo but includes dictionary in more than english/russian languages
- Price.ru, considered swapping for Yandex market but decided against it due to number of Yandex services; they are more credible site but price.ru is ok too; better to give user choice
- RSS Reader: drop My Yahoo and Bloglines as they are not in Russian language
