Calling Durov a visionary is, eh, ahem, meow, strange.

One funny thing about VK is, though, that it apparently started similarly to Facebook, possibly wasn't initially a complete clone even.

But the guy is too elitist for his actual level of expertise.

I know nothing about this guy, but calling anyone a visionary because they thought about making a Facebook clone is a stretch.

I like how you randomly said meow, where is that from?
