Actually during this semester, posting once in every week seemed to be bothersome things. But now it's so sad that it would be my last posting homework.As this course's purpose, I want to keep social networking with you guys and hope to get some informative information from you even after this semester.
I want to introduce Korea's social networking services (SNS).
Compared with U.S, Korea has not various SNSs but there are many useful SNSs in Korea more than I expected.
http://www.cyworld.com/
http://www.puppyred.com/
http://www.linknow.kr/
http://www.starpl.com/
http://www.tossi.com/
http://www.ko.playtalk.net/
http://www.agentwang.com/
http://www.sedari.co.kr/
Listed above is the Korea's popular SNSs. As I mentioned before, Cyworld is definitely number 1 social networking site in Korea as Facebook in U.S. Except Cyworld and PlayTalk, I never heard before about these things. I feels like I was isolated from social networking before this class.
PlayTalk is almost same with Twitter. I've never used this one, but I'm going to sign it up right after buying my new laptop :). And Puppyred is something like Secondlife, but it's kind of online game so companies do not promote here. This point is not like Secondlife. When I first saw many companies' islands in Secondlife, I thought it would be awesome if Korean corporations joined in social networking online game.
Next is Linknow and Sedari, now I'm surpsied that these are really same with Linkedin..I think many SNSs in Korea are might bechmarking successuful other SNSs in U.S.
Tossi is like kind of Mobile Twitter. This service's main tool is Mobile. Users can upload mobile picture and short comment about it. It's mobile 2.0! Now I'm exciting that I can apply some words that I've learn from this class haha.
Agentwang is kind of SNS that manages other people's profiles. By social networking considered as importand theme in business, Managing profiles is also become important.
Through these SNSs in Korea, now I knew that I was just Cyworld holic..Already there were many SNSs also in Korea. I'm going to join these sites when I go back to Korea.
Anyway I really enjoyed this class.
Take Care everyone!!
