If you have been around my blog for a while you have noticed the evolution of my writing style, of the blog's design, the topics I chose to discuss any many other different things. When I was just starting this blog I couldn't even tell you why I was doing it. I guess I wanted somebody out there to know that I exist :) But as time passed, I grew to love blogging. It also proved to be a very useful thing for me as it helped me to shape my views on many things related to my profession. And imagine how inspired I was to find out that somebody actually liked what I write about! I love YOU, my readers! I've also been studying blogging as a phenomenon and as a craft for a long time and I am ready to share my best knowledge with you! My session is called Why your blog needs to be your right hand. So grab your chance and register, I can't wait to see you there!

This is not all, of course. Our conference will end up in a virtual speed networking event. It has proved to be a great success already. You can read more about it here. And our attendees are going to receive some great bonuses which you can learn more about if you scroll down the conference page.

So what are you waiting for? It's the last day before the event, so don't miss your chance to take control of YOUR business!

10 interesting facts about the Russian language

In my previous post  I promised to follow with the  interesting info about some other languages. So here are 10 facts about the Russian language which might be of interest to those who are studying it. If you would like to have this list in Russian, please contact me and I will send it to you by email. So, what do I find interesting about my native language? 1. Russian has about 500,000 words, but only 2,000-2,500 of them are used frequently. 100 most frequently used words make 20% of all written and oral speech. A high school graduate's vocabulary usually has 1,500 to 4,000 words. Those who have graduated from a higher educational institution normally have a richer vocabulary consisting of approximately  8,000 words. 2. It's compulsory for all astronauts in the international space station to learn Russian, so we can call it an international language of space :)

His dismissal letter said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Kipling, but you just don't know how to use the English language. This isn't a kindergarten for amateur writers." No language has more synonyms than English.

Ufa is not considered one of the primary tourist attractions of Russia, though I am convinced now that it definitely should be. Some pictures of the city (not all of the pictures are mine, some were made by the official photographer of the conference Elena Ekaterininskaya, our company CEO Fedor Kondratovich and some other colleagues): The bee is a symbol of the region as Bashkortostan produces the best honey in Russia. We saw installations shown below in different parts of the city. There were still covered because of the cold weather, but they will be full of blooming flowers as soon as the warm weather comes. The bee as we saw it That's what it
