<p align="left"><strong></strong>Koreans say &#8216;KakaoTalk me&#8217; instead &#8216;Text me&#8217;. This phenomenon shows how KakaoTalk is actively used by Koreans. KakaoTalk has over reached a billion daily messages! The number of messages delivered on KakaoTalk is exponentially increased over the past year. The number of message amount sent over KakaoTalk per minute is equivalent to the number of Google search created and the number of stories created on Newsfeed of Facebook each minute. <em><a href="http://bit.ly/vq1k4W">Read More</a></em><em> </em></p>
<p align="left">While KakaoTalk is dominating Korea, Line is rapidly conquering foreign countries. Line currently retains a large number of users in Europe which became its driving force of the growth. Moreover, Line reported on January 27<sup>th</sup> that the number of users is increased by 5 million within a month after it reached 10 million downloads. <em><a href="http://bit.ly/yrfrOZ">Read More</a></em></p>

<p align="left">요즘은 &#8216;문자해&#8217;라는 말 대신 &#8216;카톡해&#8217;라는 말을 한다고 하죠. 카카오톡의 위력이 정말 대단한데요. 최근 하루 메시지 전송 건수가 무려 10억건을 돌파했다고 합니다.</p>
<p align="left">카카오톡이 국내에서 입지를 굳건히 하고 있을 때, NHN의 모바일 메신저 &#8216;라인&#8217;은 해외 사용자 증가로 급성장하면서 국내 1위 업체 카카오톡의 아성을 넘보고 있습니다.</p>
<p align="left">NHN은 라인이 유럽 등 해외 사용자수의 급증으로 지난해 12월25일 1000만 다운로드를 돌파한지 한 달 만에 사용자 수가 500만명이나 늘었다고 27일 밝혔습니다.</p>

<p align="left"><span style="color: #000080"><strong>Social Trend – Social TV, Social Game, LB Social Shopping</strong></span><strong></strong></p>
<p align="left">What’s hot trend in social media? Let’s look into latest news in social TV, social game, and LB social shopping.</p>
<p align="left"><span style="color: #0000ff"><strong>1.     </strong><strong>‘Watch, Talk, and Share’ through Social TV</strong></span></p>
<p align="left">The idea of ‘TV+SNS = Social TV’ is catching users’ eyes and rising as a hot trend in social media. KTH launched ‘TV Talkers’ which allows sharing audiences’ opinions on the same program they are watching through smartphones. Also it allows app users to recommend TV programs each other to make their opinions are reflected on the program ratings. <a href="http://bit.ly/wix8rX"><em>Read More</em></a></p>
<p align="left"><span style="color: #0000ff"> <strong>2.     </strong><strong>Naver, intensifying its business on social game by providing ‘App player’</strong></span></p>
<p align="left">Naver has launched an ‘App player’ which integrates the management system for social games. This benefits users to play with their friends more easily because it does not require the boding on Naver blog or Me2day between the players. <a href="http://bit.ly/zSjAJH"><em>Read More</em></a><em></em></p>
<p align="left"><span style="color: #0000ff"> <strong>3.     </strong><strong>NHN, launching a LB social shopping</strong></span></p>
<p align="left">NHN has announced that they are planning to launch a social shopping business with location based system in the first year of 2012. Currently many social commerce sites provide LB coupons to users. It is expected that NHN’s new business would go into a battle against social commerce sites. <em><a href="http://goo.gl/lCxkF">Read More</a></em></p>

<p>요즘 각광받고 있는 소셜 트렌드인 소셜 티비, 소셜 게임 그리고 위치기반 소셜 쇼핑에 대해 알아봅시다. .</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff"><strong>1.    </strong><strong>″보고</strong><strong> </strong><strong>말하고</strong><strong> </strong><strong>평한다</strong><strong>″…2012</strong><strong>년</strong><strong> </strong><strong>소셜</strong><strong>TV </strong><strong>앱이</strong><strong> </strong><strong>뜬다</strong></span></p>
<p>종편 출범으로 지상파와 케이블TV 등의 시청률 경쟁이 더욱 거세진 가운데, TV와 SNS가 접목된 앱들이 주목을 받고 있습니다. 그 중 KTH가 최초로 선보인 &#8216;TV 토커스&#8217;는 같은 채널을 보고 있는 시청자들이 스마트폰을 통해 의견을 제시하고 추천글을 올리며 소통하는 앱인데요. 이전의 TV 앱이 방송을 볼 수 있게 하는데 그쳤다면 TV 토커스는 SNS를 통해 시청자들이 직접 시청률 집계에 자신들의 의사를 반영할 수 있다고 합니다.</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff"><strong>2.    </strong><strong>네이버</strong><strong> `</strong><strong>소셜</strong><strong> </strong><strong>게임</strong><strong>` </strong><strong>강화</strong><strong>…</strong><strong>소셜</strong><strong> </strong><strong>앱</strong><strong> </strong><strong>통합관리</strong><strong> </strong><strong>서비스</strong></span></p>
<p>네이버가 소셜 게임을 통합 관리할 수 있는 앱 플레이어 서비스를 소셜 앱스에 추가하였는데요. 블로그나 미투데이를 통해 친구를 맺지 않더라도 친구 초대를 통해 쉽게 게임을 즐길 수 있다는 장점이 있다고 합니다.</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff"><strong>3.    </strong><strong>NHN, `</strong><strong>위치기반</strong><strong> </strong><strong>소셜쇼핑</strong><strong>` </strong><strong>사업</strong><strong> </strong><strong>나선다</strong></span></p>
<p>NHN이 이르면 상반기 위치기반 서비스를 이용한 소셜쇼핑 사업을 전개할 전망이라고 합니다. 현재 소셜커머스 업체들이 위치기반 쿠폰 서비스를 이미 제공하고 있어 NHN의 새로운 사업은 소셜커머스 업체들과 경쟁하게 될 것으로 보입니다.</p>

<p><span style="color: #000080"><strong>Trust SNS? Yes (43%) vs No (40%)</strong></span></p>
<p align="left">It is reported that 43% of the participants answered they would trust information on SNS whereas other 40% says &#8216;No&#8217; to the question. Nonetheless, it is interesting the portion of young answerers have tendency to trust more SNS than baby boomers. In the age of 19 to 29, the portion of positive answers on the question was 47.7% which was 10% higher than the negative answers. This phenomenon was similarly showed in the age of 30s. In contrast, the negative answers on the question in the age of 50s and 60s were 10% higher than the positive answers. <a href="http://bit.ly/rBsCq0"><em>Read More</em></a></p>

<p align="left">TV와 소셜미디어의 결합을 통해 소비자의 시청 행태도 변화하고 있습니다. 최근 한 조사에 따르면, 한국 소비자의 55%는 외출시 모바일 기기를 통해 TV를 시청하며, 그 중 71%는 스마트폰으로 TV를 시청한다고 합니다. 이는 16개의 조사 대상국 가운데 가장 높은 비율입니다. 또한 응답자 중 76%가 ‘소셜TV’를 시청하면서 소셜 플랫폼을 통해 비슷한 관심사를 가진 다른 시청자들과 의견을 교환하는 것으로 나타났습니다.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the past few days of January 2012 India has overtaken Indonesia to become the second largest Facebook country in the world with 43,497,980 users. India is adding about 2m new users each month. The most significant fact however is not India dethroning Indonesia, but the fact that only 3% of India population has joined; only Pakistan, Russia and Nigeria have such relatively low penetration rates.  This leaves a huge growth potential for India, and as more people join Facebook it will likely transform the digital landscape there, as it has done in Indonesia and Philippines.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s also worth noting that Japan has added 500,000 users and Korea 347,000 users in the past month &#8211; Japan has the highest growth rate (8.01%) of the top 25 countries &#8211; so we also expect to see the social media landscape changing rapidly in both these markets in 2012.</p>

세계 최대의 전문가용 비즈니스 SNS인 링크드인이 한국어 서비스를 시작했습니다. 한국어 서비스가 시작되기 전에 이미 300,000명의 한국 전문가들이 링크드인에 자신의 프로필을 작성했는데요. 이 새로운 서비스가 전 세계로 인력 네트워크를 확대하려는 한국 이용자들에게 기회를 확대시켜 줄 것으로 기대됩니다.</p>

I’M IN’s takeoff for a location-based marketing tool<br />
</span></strong>I’M IN, Korea’s most used LBSNS, is making a new leap for a real-time marketing platform. Owners of small business, brick-and mortar and franchise are now able to promote their store and brand through ‘I’M IN Biz’, which is making a <span style="color: #000000">contribution to communication between brand and consumer. </span><br />

</strong>모바일 기반의 SNS업체들이 수익 모델 발굴에 적극 나서고 있다는 소식입니다. 카카오톡은 새로운 이모티콘 서비스를 유료로 내놓았고, &#8216;아임IN&#8217;의 경우 &#8217;아임IN 비즈&#8217;라는 플랫폼의 비즈니스 서비스를 선보였는데요. 모바일 기반 SNS를 활용한 수익모델의 성공여부가 앞으로 앱 개발자들에게 많은 영향을 미칠 것으로 보입니다.</p>

<span style="color: #000080">Smartphone TV driving out home TV</span><br />
</strong>The combination of TV and social media is changing viewers’ behavior. A recent survey by Motorola Mobility founded that 55% of Korean consumers watch TV through mobile devices when they are out. And of the 55%, 71% answered they use smartphone to watch TV, which refers to the highest percentage among 16 countries that have gone through the survey. 76% of Korean respondents said they watch ‘social TV’ so they can engage with other TV viewers with similar interests through social platforms.<br />

<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://www.asiadigitalmap.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/sundew11.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5105" src="http://www.asiadigitalmap.com/wp-content/plugins/autothumb/image.php?src=http://www.asiadigitalmap.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/sundew11-300x230.jpg&amp;aoe=1&amp;q=100&amp;w=300&amp;h=230&amp;hash=989771ef61427d667455a6021933c9f7" alt="" /></a></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #000080">Sundew, dynamic social Q&amp;A service that is based on your trusted friend network </span></strong>Now, you can ask questions through your mobile app and get answers right away. SK Planet, a new platform subsidiary of Korea’s top mobile carrier, launched a mobile Q&amp;A application &#8216;Sundew&#8217;. It provides honest, reliable answers, fast from your friends who really know you. It helps you get the answers in real time from trusted sources. Users can ask, forward, or answer questions anywhere in the world with their mobile. &#8217;Sundew&#8217; is similar to &#8216;Intelligence&#8217; of Naver and &#8216;Wikipedia&#8217; that it constructs database on questions and answers. However, it is optimized for mobile environment.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://www.asiadigitalmap.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/sundew.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5085" src="http://www.asiadigitalmap.com/wp-content/plugins/autothumb/image.php?src=http://www.asiadigitalmap.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/sundew-300x253.jpg&amp;aoe=1&amp;q=100&amp;w=300&amp;h=253&amp;hash=9f7888548a3c4aedfb933a1e2ce015fa" alt="sundew, the planet" /></a></p>
<p>Now you might wonder why the app is named as &#8216;sundew&#8217;. Sundew is an insect eating plant which is the same as a venus flytrap. Likewise once a question is posted on Sundew, it cannot be removed from Sundew friends network until gets answered. <em><a href="http://bit.ly/vouXxi" target="_blank">Read more</a></em></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #000080">SK플래닛, 내달 &#8216;모바일 소셜 Q&amp;A&#8217; 앱 출시 </span></strong>이제 모바일을 통해 자신이 궁금한 것을 묻고 답하는 &#8216;모바일 소셜 Q&amp;A&#8217;을 즐길 수 있습니다. 모바일을 통해 전 세계인을 대상으로 질문과 답변을 할 수 있다는 데서 기존의 &#8216;지식인&#8217;과는 차별화를 할 것으로 보입니다.</p>

<p><span style="color: #000080"><strong>Mobile territory war begins with social games </strong></span>The Korean graphic technology is going in advance. Now it is possible to embody high resolution graphic games on social platforms. Thus existing games are moving their platforms to social. One of the successful case was &#8216; Rule the Sky&#8217; which has more than 200,000 daily users. &#8217;Rule the sky&#8217; contains high resolution graphic features which attract users. In addition, subject matters to the social games are changing. For instance, first-person shooter(FPS) games or role playing games (RPG) are now implemented on social platforms. &#8216;Uberstrike&#8217; from CrazyFish was implemented in 3D as the first domestic social game on Cyworld app store.  <em><a href="http://bit.ly/rvfiWg" target="_blank">Read more</a></em></p>

<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://www.asiadigitalmap.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/12.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4811" src="http://www.asiadigitalmap.com/wp-content/plugins/autothumb/image.php?src=http://www.asiadigitalmap.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/12-300x215.jpg&amp;aoe=1&amp;q=100&amp;w=240&amp;h=172&amp;hash=63ad63ca0e35872d70448fff684d11c5" alt="" /></a></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080"><strong>NHN, stepping forward hoping to make the second legendary story with social network and mobile!</strong></span></p>
<p>NHN is one of the most famous internet service firms in Korea. The company has overtaken the market for Korean internet at early stage and now tries to step forward with social network and mobile.</p>
<p>Wondering how? Here are NHN’s strategies:</p>
<p>Firstly, NHN carried out the huge change into its Naver App which had only focused on mobile search. NHN updated its mobile searching features by adding four different versions of mobile home – Naver Home, Naver Me, Naver Search, and Naver Shortcuts. Moreover, it strengthened the widgets for Android smartphone users. In addition, NHN plans to expand its expertise in online games.</p>
<p>It is looking forward to seeing whether NHN would continue its overwhelming position into mobile web as well. <a href="http://bit.ly/qHaIEg"><em>Read more</em></a></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080"><strong>NHN, </strong><strong>소셜네트워크</strong><strong>·</strong><strong>모바일로</strong><strong> </strong><strong>제</strong><strong>2 </strong><strong>성공</strong><strong> </strong><strong>신화</strong><strong> </strong><strong>만든다</strong></span></p>
<p>그동안 특화된 모바일 검색에 초점을 맞췄던 네이버앱이 지난 달 대대적인 업데이트를 단행한 바 있습니다. NHN은 이제 인터넷 업계의 화두인 소셜네트워크와 모바일을 중심으로 또 한번의 성공에 도전하고 있습니다. 이를 위해 소셜네트워크 검색 서비스를 실시하는 한편 온라인게임 분야도 지속 육성할 방침이라고 합니다.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://www.asiadigitalmap.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/21.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4813" src="http://www.asiadigitalmap.com/wp-content/plugins/autothumb/image.php?src=http://www.asiadigitalmap.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/21-300x146.jpg&amp;aoe=1&amp;q=100&amp;w=240&amp;h=117&amp;hash=c3bee510ff8ec217509bb5c589f00400" alt="" /></a></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080"><strong>Facebook has been ranked No.1 with its No. of visitors, out ranking Cyworld </strong></span></p>
<p>Cyworld, a local social networking service, led the market for the past decade in Korea. However, it is now threatened by Facebook. The number of monthly visitors to the site was beaten by Facebook in August. 15.9 million visited Cyworld Mini Hompy as of August and this number represents a substantial fall from the previous monthly average of 18 million. Visitors to Facebook, meanwhile, amounted to 16.3 million in August.</p>
<p>Not too sadly, Cyworld is still dominant among young users. Middle-aged users, however, tend to prefer Facebook.</p>
<p>Cyworld, which led the local SNS market during the past 10 years, is falling while Facebook is growing steeply. It is exciting to watch how the SNS market will change in the future. <a href="http://bit.ly/oKKZki"><em>Read more</em></a></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080"><strong>페이스북 방문자, 마침내 싸이월드 미니홈피 역전</strong></span></p>
<p>올해 월평균 1800만명의방문자 수를 유지하던 싸이월드 미니홈피의 방문자 수가 6월부터 감소하기 시작했습니다. 8월에는 1593만명으로 줄어들 때, 페이스북 방문자 수는 점차 늘어나 1633만명을 기록하며 싸이월드 미니홈피를 앞질렀습니다. 이에 대해 30대 이상 연령층이 페이스북에서 활발하게 활동하면서 전체 방문자 수를 끌어올린 것이라는 분석이 나오고 있습니다.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://www.asiadigitalmap.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/31.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4814" src="http://www.asiadigitalmap.com/wp-content/plugins/autothumb/image.php?src=http://www.asiadigitalmap.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/31-158x300.jpg&amp;aoe=1&amp;q=100&amp;w=126&amp;h=240&amp;hash=ed9c7d60b1e6bda05afad1abc2e00bc0" alt="" /></a></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080"><strong>Do you know KakaoTalk?</strong></span></p>
<p>It’s the one of coolest mobile phone application in Korea. It’s not exaggerating to say every single smartphone users have Kakaotalk installed on their mobiles.</p>
<p>According to Nielsen KoreanClick, a web analytics and media consulting firm, 90% of smartphone users use KakaoTalk! Among the smartphone users, 99.5% spend daily average of 37.8 minutes in purpose of communications. This figure is considered to be 30% of total time consumed on App.</p>
<p>Followed by KakaoTalk, Google, Facebook and Youtube showed intensive frequency of use.</p>
<p>Here is the happy news for KakaoTalk users. KakaoTalk has worked on a project, ‘The fastest ox project’, to make an improvement with its speed. This project worked on the lighter packet size, push system optimization, and improvement of back-end system. After the project is being completed, KakaoTalk is expecting to provide the service with 20 times faster transfer rate in speed.

<p>하루 평균 몇 분동안 스마트폰으로 친구들과 연락하시나요? 국내 웹 분석업체 닐슨코리안클릭에 따르면 스마트폰 이용자 중 99.5%가 커뮤니케이션 목적으로 하루 평균 37.8분(전체 앱 이용시간의 30%에 해당)을 이용하는 것으로 나타났다고 합니다. 모바일 웹에서는 구글, 페이스북, 유투브 등이 높은 이용도를 보였다고 하네요. 또한, 카카오는 &#8216;겁나 빠른 황소 프로젝트&#8217;라는 속도 개선 프로젝트를 진행해왔는데요. 패킷 사이즈 경량화, 푸시 시스템 구조 최적화, 백엔드 시스템 성능 개선을 골자로 하여 향후 메세지 전송 속도를 20배 높일 수 있도록 할 예정이라고 합니다.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A group of students from Singapore Management University have just completed a look at Korea&#8217;s social media landscape, including an interview with Howard Han, leader of the Ogilvy social media team in Seoul. The students have pulled together a range of information on South Korean social media, which they summarized for Asia Digital Map with the below posting. In the spirit of sharing knowledge and supporting academic study of social media, we welcome high quality guest postings by students who have produced insights or gathered information on aspects of social media in Asia.</p>
<p><strong>Author: Winston Koh, Tan Kwan Hong, Fatimah Bte Yasin, Wang Enqin &amp; Lim Eun Kyung</strong></p>
<p><strong>Category: Korea, Social, Business, Social Media, Singapore Management University, Korea University </strong></p>
<p><strong>Date: 28<sup>th</sup> Oct 2011 </strong></p>
<p>A communications course, Digital Media Across Asia, conducted in Singapore Management University (SMU), has brought together a group of 5 students (4 from SMU and 1 from Korea University) to share about the digital media landscape in South Korea. What makes this course unique is that our project requires us to share our research and findings the digital way.</p>
<p>싱가포르 경영 대학(SMU)의 커뮤니케이션 수업, ‘아시아 전역의 디지털 미디어’를 통해서 한국의 디지털 미디어 환경에 대한 의견을 나누기 위해 네 명의 SMU 학생, 한 명의 고려대 학생, 총 다섯 명의 학생이 모였습니다. 이 과목이 특별한 것은, 우리가 찾아낸 것들을 디지털 방식으로 공유해야 한다는 것입니다.</p>
<p>Over the past 10 weeks, we have collated the latest statistics and interviewed several experts on digital media in Korea. Instead of writing reports and submitting it to our professor, Michael Netzley, we have been tasked to organize a one-week social media campaign to share with the rest of the world the conclusion of our findings. Our strategy is to actively engage our audience in three ways: read, listen and watch.</p>
<p>지난 10 주 동안, 우리는 최신 통계를 모으고 한국 디지털 미디어에 여러 전문가를 인터뷰했습니다. 보고서를 작성하고 마이클 넷즐리 교수님께 제출하는 대신에, 우리는 우리의 연구 결과를 전세계의 네티즌들과 함께 공유하는 한 주간의 온라인 캠페인을 구성해야 합니다. 저희의 온라인 캠페인 전략은 적극적으로 이들 세 가지 방법으로 우리의 청중을 참여시키는 것입니다: 읽고, 듣고, 보고.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify">블로터닷넷이 창간 5주년을 맞아 &#8216;한국의 트위터 이용 현황&#8217; 조사를 실시했습니다. 최근 2년 4개월의 데이터를 토대로 한 이 조사를 통해 대한민국 트위터 유저들의 사용 실패를 파악할 수 있을 것이라 생각합니다.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="color: #ff0000"><strong>Korea’s Top 3 Portal Sites Performance Result in Q2 </strong></span>According to the research done on nation’s top 3 portal sites’ performance, Naver continues to maintain its first rank, followed closely by Daum.

<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="color: #ff0000"><strong>포털 3사 ‘2강 1약’체제 굳어지나 </strong></span>포털 사이트의 2,4분기 실적을 조사한 결과, 네이버는 부동의 1위를 지키고 있고, 모바일 광고시장을 선점한 다음이 그 뒤를 바짝 추격하고 있습니다. 그러나 해킹 문제, 검색 시장의 점유율 하락으로 SK는 점점 뒤쳐지고 있다고 하네요.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="color: #ff0000"><strong>NHN, </strong><strong>오픈마켓 진출 박차…`네이버 마일리지` 오픈 </strong></span>네이버의 오픈마켓 소식입니다. 네이버 마일리지로 불리는 이 오픈마켓 서비스는 네이버 아이디 하나로 가맹점에서 마일리지 적립 및 사용이 가능한 적립금 제도라고 합니다.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="color: #ff0000"><strong>Who is the next dominator of mobile platform? </strong></span>Since Nate’s information disclosure crisis and delayed launch of Naver’s new mobile service ‘Line’, the competition between Mypeople and Kakaotalk is getting more intense. In just 3 month, Mypeople has doubled its users mainly due to their platform expansion and improved functions.<a href="http://www.etnews.com/201108170205" target="_blank"> <em>Read more</em></a><strong></strong></p>
