Danny Kim: Korea tech trends

Dec 22, 2008

Danny Kim of Technokimchi, a Korean tech blog, describes a few trends in Korea while at Le Web in Paris.

Among them: Blogging and the rise of online influence on national politics as well as a decline of power for Cyworld. Cyworld, a once-mighty social network to which most South Korean youth were members, has been waning since SK Telecom took control, Kim said.

  • Interesting about Cyworld on the decline but not surprising - I have an account but have to pretend to be Korean as you need a national ID to signup and added to that annoyance the interface looks like something from 8 years ago. The only reason I'm compelled to use it is because everyone else in Korea does.
