Cyworld US launched

they do the crazy thing again. everybody in japan don’t show any interest in Cyworld Japan. they just have got NO idea about the localization. they do the same thing they did in korea. hey, how could you do that? i even think it’s for the koreans in japan. of course, koreans in japan use Cyworld Korea.

but it’s too soon to judge, they even don’t start ad. (i really don’t understand why they don’t start ad. user no is most important in community market, not service itself.)

anyway, SK Communications is a rich company.  it’s a very strong point. they maybe the winner of community site, because they can wait 10 or more years till the market wants its model. but, you know it’s not a clever idea at all. it’s passive and pessimistic and almost pathentic. there were full of copy sites in korea, but all dead. not because cyworld’s system is cool, but cyworld has dominant no of users (almost every young people in korea.)

good luck~
