Recently, I discovered something called Cyworld, a popular South Korean Blogging service.
Below is what I have taken off
Wiki about Cyworld.

The main feature of Cyworld is the service called minihompy, which combines a photo gallery, message board, guestbook, and personal bulletin board. What sets Cyworld apart from traditional blog sites such as Blogger and LiveJournal is the "miniroom", which is the virtual room where the blogger's cyberspace avatar, or "mini me," lives. Users can choose to buy wallpapers, clothes for their virtual counterparts, furnishings, background music, banners, fonts and other decorations for their minihompy. To buy these items, users must first exchange their real world currency with Cyworld money called "dotori" (Korean: 도토리) –- literally translated, "acorns." Most of these items are time-limited, and automatically disappear once that time has expired.The typical layout for a minihompy has a title (e.g., "This is X’s minihompy"), and four main areas. The left column has a photo, followed by a brief description and user information (name, blood type, birthday, address, etc.), and links to mutual buddies’ minihompys. The center area displays the main content (profile, photo gallery, bulletin board, diary, etc.). On the intro page, this area features the user’s avatar and miniroom, as well as recent postings, and an area for visitors to leave short comments. Off to the right side is a quick menu of links to all the pages of the minihompy, and to the far right is a window that tracks various statistics such as number of visitors.

After reading through the description, I realised it's something like Maple and it's A Cash. Highly commercialised service, considering the fact that "..can choose to buy wallpapers, clothes for their virtual counterparts...To buy these items, users must first exchange their real world currency with Cyworld money.....items are time-limited, and automatically disappear once that time has expired." But it's really cool looking! And it lets you post an unlimited amount of pictures!
SS taken from
Mashable! According to Mashable, Cyworld has launched it's
public beta in the US. I hope the official release will be out soon! And finally, I just downloaded auditionSEA!! There's going to be another game released by asiasoft soon and it's called KongKongSea. Er, sounds lame?
