Cyworld Korean Popular Social Networking

Facebook now is a new phenomenon in the world, the world number 2 website, replacing Yahoo and still behind Google. But in Korea, Facebook is not so popular since it is in English and too plain. Korean peoples usually the youngs generation prefer http://cyworld.com where we can post pictures, decorate your homepage, chat with friends, play music on their homepage, etc.
