Dear friends, starting from today I'll be posting some information to my blog in English.
I can see a great interest to what we're doing among English-speaking friends and colleagues. At the same time there is lack of information about Ukraine, our IT sector, citizen journalism, blogs, social media etc.

In this post I'll update You on our current activities.
Highway.com.ua - I'm editor-in-chief of this citizen journalism web-site. Highway is online newspaper and social network at the same time. We have 4800 registered journalist from all over Ukraine and keep growing. Highway is listed among TOP-15 Internet-media in Ukraine. More information about Highway can be found here http://www.hw.net.ua/hieng.php.
Hiblogger.net - a blog-service we launched this spring. We compared all the existing blog-services and took the best features from around the world. I believe it's the best platform for blogging ever developed in Ukraine. Our main competitor is LiveJournal.com, which belongs to US company Six Apart. Some 80,000 Ukrainians have registered their accounts there. However, Ukraine has a population of 46 mln. people and only 3% are Internet users at the moment. So the market is quite promising.
Blogcamp.com.ua - Highway team takes part in preparing this event. Bloggers and other representatives of new media from CIS and the Baltics will gather in Kyiv in October to participate in a Barcamp.
... Some secret plans not to share at the moment ...
To top it off: tomorrow thanks to Marting Hugo we're having a meeting with Softpress. We'll discuss Ukrainian blogosphere and possible areas of cooperation.
Few days ago we came back from South Korea. It was nice to meet You all, Todd, Jean, HaJeong Lee, Elizabeth, Paige, Rostik, Ranjit, Pawel, Mihkel, Anton, Elgar, Michael, Joan, Yossi, Stephen, Dan, Cynthia, sorry if I forgot to mention anybody, I can remember faces better than names. Dear friends, I had the most exciting time talking to You these days. I fell in love with Korea and I hope I shall come back some day.
Stay in touch and good luck!
