Runfaces went viral, reaching 280,000 unique visitors in its first month, mainly in the US.[3]
Runfaces was the one of the first startups which used live video at social networking. It is helps delving into virtual world boasting video connection between members, and a platform that allows people to find each other based on common interests.
Facebook’s communication platform is text and photo-heavy, with relatively undeveloped video-connection options. Melnyk and Krizhevich feel that video connection is already the next wave in social and that Runfaces is doing it right.[4]

Children create their own computer games and websites, learning how to use technology creatively.
