Awesome! Great job!

Congrats guys!! 👍

I believe this was after a VK executive received a bonus from the company and someone had made a joke along the lines of "look you've made it".

The employee responded to say that money wasn't his motivation. Instead, it was the idea of creating and building stuff.

To prove his point, he threw the bonus money out of the window in paper planes.

This could imply that money really wasn't/isn't the motivation.

Maybe, this was slightly foolish given the media's/public interpretation. I don't think this act had a "douchebag" intention.

Pavel seems to be a great person, building a gift to society & mankind. He puts the users/people before himself, stands behind their rights and believes in strong ideals such as freedom of speech and privacy. I don't think you can say the same about many other internet companies/services.

If you look at his previous company VK. It is by far a superior experience to Facebook, given how intuitive, fast and sleek it is. Images load 3 times as fast and has many features which FB does not have. I use daily to keep in touch with my friends in Belarus, Ukraine and Russian. I only wish more of my friends used it. He has an incredible eye for design and product.

When people refer to VK being a clone of Facebook. This is innovation. Did Facebook invent the idea of Social Networking? It must be extremely annoying to be constantly referred to as "Russia’s Mark Zuckerberg" and having VK being constantly compared to FB.

Here he has had a brilliant opportunity for a fresh start, freedom to create something better than before and I'm sure he will take advantage of it.

As Steve Jobs put it. "Getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life." Steve Jobs, 2005"

Everyone should look forward for what is to come with Telegram. There is some really great technological innovations going on. They've invented a new protocol(https://core.telegram.org/techfaq) and have a great API to utilise this technology(https://core.telegram.org/).

I'm sure you'll like it. Check it out: http://www.telegram.org

Great Idea!

* If it really is that lucrative (I do believe the figures he mentions) then why isn't everyone doing it?

Yup! I suppose you wouldn't typically expect someone in a costume to be making that much.

* Who tips a guy in a costume $100 for a photo?

People on a business trip, also some people from the middle east.

Interesting idea and concept!

Whoops. I messed up the monthly and all time revenue. This is what it should be.

All Time $2,461.35

Annual(june 2012-june 2013) $1,234.20

Monthly $119.86

Sure. It uses Adobe Stratus, mysql and Coldfusion Backend. I'll be happy to recode it using WebRTC if you're interested. I've not tried using Flippa, will make a post there too though. Thanks!

I suppose that was "Someday I Want to meet Brad Pitt"

I made a site with a similar concept but instead of "Before I die", Its "Someday I Want". The link is http://www.somedayiwant.com
