Cyworld vs. Naver blog

Most people do cyworld recent few years.
They find fun with it. In my opinion, the trend of people has been changed. As Korean, we traditionally tried to hide our private things and personal emotions. However, by doing cyworld, we should put those things on visible surface.
Though there is no intention to do like that, some categories such as 'diary', 'picture', 'visitor' cause people to do. The system of '일촌' has not only strength but also weakness. People need to distinct people around them. I mean they should select he/she who they think is close enough to them. May be this kind of stuff makes unknown prejudices. People also wanted to show off their popularity by the number of visitors. I think this system is very very epoch making event to make people invest much time, money and effort. However this also causes people to play the hypocrite.

On the other hand, Naver blog is better partially. Bloggers don't need to know each other in
personal. They just share information about their common interests. Age, gender, social status and so on are no problem. However there is also one weakness about naver blog. It is that there are soooooooooo many blogs in the Internet.
It means not only Korean surfers but also worldwide people who use the Internet. Cyworld is better if we just consider at the point of connectivity.
