The site, in 2011

A Russian online hotel booking service based in Moscow, founded in 2010 by Serge Faguet and Kirill Makharinsky.

It offered over a million places to stay. In August 2018 SimilarWeb put its users at 5.4 million, and its turnover that year was estimated at $713 million. Partners included TripAdvisor, Kayak and Aviasales.

Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
