-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...

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".

and another...

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.
