I’ve mentioned Cyworld before here. There’s not much to say but after reading the comments on Techcrunch, it seems pretty aligned with my take. The majority of the US audience won’t find it as “cool” as the Koreans and probably won’t be as successful in the US, just like MySpace won’t find success in Korea. And if you design for the US, why can’t you design to work with different browsers, like Firefox.?

Fortunately – users in the US have many options, and CyWorlds – take-it-or-leave-it from their collection of graphics and mini items is not likely to appeal to many myspace users.

MySpace may be terrible tecnnically – and not appeal to the geek “technorati” in elegance – but it is King with users – and it’s easy to see why:

FREEDOM

The fundamental problem is diversity with the CyWorld Approach – MySpace has created a huge ecosystem of companies like http://www.skem9.com http://www.blemeshack.com http://www.glit...er-graphics.com http://www.dolliecrave.com http://www.myonda.com http://www.createblog.com

the list and diveristy of sites serving different interests – with different layouts, graphics, video, music etc. to customize your profile – or ANY OTHER profile on another social network is astounding.

All the sites offer Free Code – that you can put on any blog, website, profile, wherever…and they are not going away.

http://www.blemeshack.com has even launched a meta search engine to search all the other sites to find these free items and the free code…

You Tube is another Major market force – in distributing their video codes free – they have grown to be the market leader – and the dozens of video offerings that have followed – have all had to offer their video codes for distrbution – to MySpace profiles, blogs, and anywhere else…

Other social networks will grow – and in time – one may top myspace – but it will be based on leveraging all the FREE decoration and enhancement codes ALREADY out there… not by building a closed walled community – and trying to trick users with cutesy garbage into paying for a poorer choice of items.
