My favorite website is Cyworld, which can be considered the Korean version of Facebook (actually, Cyworld started seven years earlier – in September 1, 1999 Cyworld launched nationally, while Facebook launched nationally in September 26, 2006). Cyworld is not just a social networking website, it is my special calendar, diary, album, note, shopping hub, etc. It has secure servers that are protected by a large team of cyber-security professionals. Unlike Facebook, Cyworld has very few incidents of hackings, and even those few incidents were due to the user’s negligence of securing their password.
What I really like about the website is that I can share what I want with my friends. I can create diary books that only selected friends can see, I can share music and pop culture with my friends, and I can send various forms of private messages through Cyworld (such as posts on their message board, sticky-notes, e-mails, virtual gifts, and chatting). I can see what my friends are doing and what they are thinking nowadays through their diary entries, message board and pictures. Of course my friends can see my information too. I am very lonely staying here in America because all my family and friends are in Korea. However when I log into my Cyworld, I feel like I’m with them. It helps to maintain my relationships well with my old friends and it makes me feel less lonely. There are so many different kinds of websites I like such as shopping mall sites, internet library sites, bible sites, recipe sites, etc. However, Cyworld is the best website I’ve ever seen.
