Tom Cruise Enthusiastically Adopts Russian Social-Networking

Earlier this week, Cruise expanded his impressively energetic online presence by establishing a page on the Russian social-networking site Vkontakte. TeamTC announced its overseas destination on Twitter earlier this week, saying, “European social network w/100mil users & we JUST launched a profile Увидимся там! -TeamTC”. (“Увидимся там!” translates to “See you there” in Russian.) Since then, the A.P. has confirmed that Cruise is the first Hollywood celebrity to set up a Vkontakte account—a milestone that the A.P. links to “Russia’s increasing box office clout.” However, we prefer to think that it is just a genuine way for Cruise to spread his infectious enthusiasm with Russian fans.
