Iwiw vs. Facebook

vs.

I thought that in the category Internet I will write some stuff about the Hungarian Internet market since this is what I am working with every day and see a lot. So here is the first internet post.

About Facebook I think I don’t have to talk too much with its million users nearly everybody is registered there. But iwiw (indernet who is who) formerly known as wiw is by far the largest Hungarian social netweork owened by [origo]. With I think nearly 2 million registered users you find almost every Hungarian on iwiw. Really, when I have been out for a night and met new people, the next day I checked on iwiw and I found at least 95% of them there.

The difference is that you can join iwiw only if you get invited by a friend as it used to be on Facebook as well. Iwiw still holds on to this method, with success. According to webaudit iwiw is the second largest website in Hungary with 2.2 million unique visitors per day and over 58 million PIs.

Unfortunately iwiw is not as sophisticated as Facebook because you don’t have the chance to modify anything or use the API to create application as they are offered on Facebook. As I am well informed iwiw will have API integration within the system soon. But also the plattform itself is a bit crowded and overloaded in my eyes.

So in general you can say that iwiw is far behind Facebook in terms of technology and usability but in Hungary iwiw is the number one, not Facebook. If there are some good changes made on the system it will be a real alternative… at least for Hungarians. Anyways as Hungarians don’t really like to change existing things they will not leave iwiw just they will be registered on Facebook as well. Like me.
