-Link Removed- is a mini site that is said to be bigger, and better than Myspace. So far, I have signed up and it is so awesome! It has finally came! One man said...
QUOTE In South Korea,the world's most internet connected country,"-site removed- has 13 million residents and visitors,more than a quarter of the country's population.And with it has come its own currency,slang and social pressure.In -site removed- an address is a "minihompy", which is short for mini homepage or, between friends, simply a "hompy".A person with a homepage is called a "mini-me".When new -site removed- citizens sign up,they get a featureless empty room as part of their homepage package.The challenge is to decorate it and then construct a personality for "mini-me".For -site removed-'s owners, one of Seoul's most successful internet companies,the site makes 200 million won ($A258,000)a day,according to the Samsung Economic Research Institute.Money pours in when the -site removed- population goes on a decorating,gift-buying or music downloading spree to adorn their "room".The more attractive and interesting the room,the more visitors it gets.And in -site removed-,popularity equates to fame and success.The site even measures sexiness and friendliness,which it gauges by the number of gifts a person gives or receives". by Jim Downing and another... QUOTE I’ve been tracking -site removed- - ever since I first heard about it last year. They’ve grown to 13M members and make $200k a day from selling digital “items” for one’s “mini-home”. These digital items are just bits - no interactivity, Tamagouchi digital life or anything. And -site removed- is also Korea’s largest music downloading service -selling music which can ONLY play on one’s mini-home page. ONLY I said. 90% of all cyber-hip folks in Korea have a -site removed- account and though their numbers have gone down since their peak of mid-last year, they’re still way out ahead and are moving to Chna and Japan. Marc's Voice You schould sign up and see for yourself. This thing is so cool! This post has been edited by Zatanna: Aug 13 2006, 08:19 PM |
