A little while earlier I wrote about the Korean website cyworld and how sarah and others suggested it was the greatest thing ever.  While killing some free time I came across an article about cyworld releasing an english version of their poplular website.  I didecided to check it out so I could judge the site myself.   So I went to http://us.cyworld.com and looked around briefly.  I think the main difference is a focus on creating a cyworld community.  The use of characters is creative  however it will be interesting to see if Americans will find some the cyworld options a little childish or too cute.  I think concept of having featured members who are looking to be seen by more people is smart and the use of clubs is brilliant however it will be interesting to see if the same problems myspace is facing with minors  will affect cyworld.  I think the site will appeal to all ages and I encourage people to have a look.  As of now the majority of members appear to have some previous knowledge about cyworld through its other sites so i'm sure they can answer any questions you have.  The one drawback is that users of the US version cannot communicate with users in other countries.  Hopefully they can fix this so that Cyworld can truly become a global community.
