Wikipedia says, "as much as 90 percent of South Koreans in their 20s and 25 percent of the total population of South Korea are registered users of Cyworld, and as of September 2005, monthly unique visitors are about 20 million."

I started using it in 2002 or 2003. Back then, there was an issue on privacy. Since all my friends who are my cyworld friend could see my comments or my friends' comments, they knew basically what I was doing and what I was going to do. Basically my daily life was in public. There was no secret. Like today's facebook here in the United States.
But now, we can left messages in secret. So, if I leave a message on my friend's cyworld, she and I only can see. Maybe facebook should include this kind of feature. I have facebook, but I don't write about my feeling or what I'm doing or things like that, to keep my privacy.
Here I could find a privacy-related news about facebook.
