Talk:Yandex

Really, the claim is just too weak now: "however, after studying Mr. Putin's responses is did seem that the President did have access to the questions before the interview took place". I don't know how was it with BBC questions, but Yandex did the following: it proposed you to ask a question; then your question appeared in one of thematical groups. You could vote for any question, and it was claimed that the most popular questions would be asked to the president. All questions and votes for them were always freely available on the Internet.

My personal opinion is that the president spoke about those things, which he would like to speak about.

If you want to know how the conference was regarded by the russian internet-community, please, see the article in Russian. Especially,

Был маленький шанс, что эта пресс-конференция породит новый формат общения власти с народом, формат, как нам кажется, несколько более продвинутый, чем телеинтервью. Все-таки интернет предоставляет немного больше возможностей, которые можно использовать не только для дуракаваляния. Однако не получилось. Интернет так и остался ни при чем, со всей своей "молодежной средой" с "большим кругозором". С таким же успехом можно было собирать вопросы по телефону, а отвечать в эфире Первого канала. Жаль.
