Just individual mumbling to myself.

Stuffy really..

I thought it was due to ma lack of knoweldges for those biz feilds.
Well dont know much about LBS and embeded software stuffs however,
I kept trying to understand that i am wet behind the ears and dont know much about the company yet .
so That would getting better if i just try to go through with it
but unfortunately that is totally wrong i finally realized tht
yes right I was like sheep standing at the wrong grass.
and barking at the wolf not making sound baba to other sheeps
kinda sad and depressed ..
I still kept praying for lord every night that i hope really want to furfill your way you prepared for me since my mom got shocked and stumbled.
I really hope i want to be a person JESUS only wants me to become.
Although it is little stuffy and annoying that i am here doing what i dont want .
but also i can feel gratitude that you are really governing me leading my everything for your purpose.

Jesus plz help me and lead me for your own way
I am now totally belonged to you only JESUS. Praise the Lord.

Using Twitter means being local correspodent.

People used to think that we all know the world based on what we know.
As Ceaser said really .. that people see only what they want to see.
They just want to see the fact that they know and they can see.
that's why communication is so important.

Now i think we finally had a chance to new brand type of communication based on location.
I was only passive consumer when browsing the twitter.
There were poping up Trending Keywords that i don't agree. or i ve not hear of.
But now i can get a option for choosing a local trends that really matter to me for real my located area.

When i tried to browse the information via twitter. I only can received the selective information for my favorite. So There were possiblity that i couldnt catch up the real big trend and fad all over the world.


Anyway i used to expect myself that Twitter will be go for location based service as next step for real benefit.
and finally they showed their local Trends which let user to set their location and see the local issues based on keyword for each region.



It is not that big deal. it is so simple. Twitter now just show the true trend keyword for each related user based on location.




If you know the Trendsmap.com you may recognize the importance of these kind of service intuitively. or you can check here http://uksnow.benmarsh.co.uk/ as a reference. They show real time snowfall feedback by twitter user.

It is like a system we can eventually but unconciously become like local correspondents for media such as AP, Rueter or CNN

Every each place has a different issues they've got different sharable story according to local area. but Twitter let just show you which is really fad for specific region by showing local keyword.
When we seperate the information based on specific reason like location or theme.
Twitter will blow up the people's attention.
that means there are posibility that they can lead and generate the public opinions and even a zeitgeist.

Now Twitter gave a clue that we can ease traffic congestion among overflowing information, tweets...........

by Local Trend which based on real location and that will lead to milestone for Keyword advertising business for Twitter.

I think it will good or bad influence to current new brand type of LBS like Foursquare,Gypsii,Where and Brightkite.






Twitter is a tool we can use as an opensource for creating new  cutomized messanger.

I had social media conference in Secondlife for a long time

As Beginning of this year 2010, I could have virtual talkshow within secondlife. it's been a really long time to have presence in secondlife. and i was just invited from HCHO who is the host of TOV show. And we had talked about the Social Media emerging topic in these days such as twitter.

And all you might notice that it only talks in korean. So I don't think you can understand the whole talk what we had talked about. so sorry for that however,

the mainpoint of this talk show was the fact that current social media will be more common and more powerful as growing spreads of smartphone, iphone or blackberry etc.. and we could have virtual connected presence within our daily life not only in front of Personal computer but wherever we are near established internet network via WIFI. So I think we can generate more contents with our daily life even if it is just short unuseful comments. and we are on the unrefined tons of messages currently sharing on network.
It is like the early age of internet when we first saw the network atmosphere called PC network. There were millions of information and messages that is unqualified and unvaluable contents as well as current situation we can see in case of twitter.

I think the next step for the social media in the future will go foward to solution that how we can controle and manage the selective and trustworthy contents among the crowded random messages and information.

For example, if we take the point of selecitng message according to specific subject like " Location " guess what?
Geo tagged picture that could extract from the GPS adopted iphone can be combined with short message for that location user wants to spread the word through the social media.
That would generate more sharable contents and we can have common denominator to lead the word of mouth and big buzz for the location.
That could lead us to valuable business model for Point of Interests or travle guide contents like Yelp, Where or forsquare. I think these service are really up and commer busines model.

So the next business model for mining money will be gaining attention from people by exposures of crowding sourced contente.
Cuz we can have and use more free software or service as growing market of Software-as-a-Service. Moreover, People will use and develope the customised service by Open API. Every contents and every site will intergrated and mixed up becoming a collective intelligence.

On the other hand, Second Life now looks decreasing and backwarding but still have a great promises for next gerneration. Younger Generation is used to work in 3D virtual world or Social networks such as Club Penguin, Gaia online or Habbo Hotel. and they will be more familar with 3D immersive virtual space like Secondlife.
According to Gartner Research group, 80% of current account on the Web will have their account on virtual world by 2013.
whether it will be correct or not i dont know either, but still virtual world space is really innovative communication tool. we could have various tools including text and voice chat together to talk not only 1 on 1 but Mass on mass as well as conference call.

Review after attended Social media curriculum for overseas sales and marketing held in KOTRA.

Last week, I had attended in Social Media curriculum held in KOTRA. Because my boss gave order for me to participate in those and study about recent trend of Social Media stuff in those days. However, It was quite undeeper and less profound than i thought. because the fact that Social media wave in south korea still in the early age and we, I mean almost people in internet atmosphere in south korea are usually having their presence online only Korean local portal or Social Network Service like Naver.com or Cyworld.com etc..



Well Although the main topic for this social media curriculum was Marketing and Relation forward the world wide, Some People who attended in don't even heard about the biggest Social media site like Facebook, Myspace and Twitter which are having real big issues and fad all around the world.
Anyway, I think Korea is well known for its wireless high-speed Internet infrastructure for millions of subscribers across the South korea, however, there are only for Gaming or entertaining things to spend time to waste, not for productive thing. it is the different culture that the concept of marketing for online and SNS or famous portal site such as naver is all about increasing the exposure of keyword as a result of searching the information by user in the site.

In those days there have been different aspects of marketing style coming to industry we also consider that the relationship and qualilty of contents is the most important thing when doing a marketing stuffs through the internet.

Especially, in naver.com Korean blogger for marketing used to drag-copy-attached contents which is the weird style of written things or (very)official and very unfamilar information from the organization or company. And they only consider the traffic to visit in and keep doing the samethings to manipulate the traffic again and again. But as Numerous million of people are having their owned account and have a relationship with their friends via blogging and social network service. we could also more credit to information from our friend's blog or have trust based on reviewing by any other user for the products before buying it.

So I can noticed that although there is diffent online space to share the communication and to meet the people due to the differn language maybe.......
As we can see more People who more depending on social media than exsisting media like TV,Radio or newpaper, it is possible to send the independant or individuall message to the public out of influence by traditional media zone. So the conception of Public Relation ship with customer and maketing plans are getting different.


(Case1> you can buy the keyword licence for results by searching engine in portal site. There is word in korea that if you have your owned keyword which is exposure in result of NAVER.com you can exposure to over 70% internet user in south korea. )

Case2> and town.cyworld.com is the one of the useful tool to have company precence for marketing in Cyworld. Company can have their official mini homepage calling town and have relationship with their individual fans by IL-chon (일촌) relates which is traditional individual connection system with friends in cyworld.

I think the korean is wet behind the ears of social media sites AKA Facebook and anyother social media site around the world. But we also have common with those wave by social media. Because we ve already established the environment to talk on internet and understand the Social Networking by internet presence.
There are absolutely different language and different culture however
I think the significant thing to understand at the concept of the work in social media is making a sharable gooooood and gorgeous contents and having a relationship with your people freely. that's what it takes.

Who is the second to none among the members of korean girl groups?

Do you agree if AFTER SCHOOL was debuted as Pussycat dolls korea ver?




Like I said, Guess who is the most famous one with making lovely population among the all girl's band of south korea in these days?
Let me introduce the one
Yoo-E
It goes without saying




Among you who are even interested in entertaining news from south korea would get wind of the name i am talking to
Yes right she is all the rage over south korea currently. and People regard her as the best one among the members from every girl group. I can surely say that there seems to be no one else can compare to YOO E according to current population of entertaining celebrities in korea. Absoulutely she is matchless.

She is now belongs to girl's band, AFTER SCHOOL (what a name...) and although she was the latest member joined in AFTER SCHOOL, gained really great reputation as i kept said again and again.

She used to expose her thighs when she did perform a dance with sing a song. so people, especially male fans going crazy with her attractive thigh so they call it HONEY THIGH.

That word made real big attention by male fans through the internet, and it has been accused of making remarks defaming women too. Those were working with buzz by mouth to mouth within every forum in portal site and community. so she could get great results with big attention.

However the AFTER SCHOOL now she is belonging to is not that big famous girl group.

I think they were undervalued by little misunderstandable marketing stuffs when they first debut on market. Cuz they were regarded sort of package next to Son Dam-Bea who had big hit on every singer chart board as a sexy female performer.

You can see when they were appearing with Miss Son in TV commercial AMOLED

By the way, they are now coming back with their second album. and it is already got very good attention.

Korean lesson Chapter 1 - JIN SIM?!

From now on, I think i can make korean lesson feature within this blog.
So i added one of my lesson for you, if you are really interesting in learning korean.

Actually, I have been publishing the english lesson in pretty famous monthly magazine in S.korea. I used to take a role of article explaining the meaning of sentence with cartoon like above which is drawn by SAKIROO, my old good buddy and character designer.

However, I think I can use it as a korean lesson for forigners by way of contrast.


Today is the first topic for the korean lesson in OKIROO's blog

A : Why don’t we do it this way?
이런 식으로 하면 어떠한가요? (E RUN SIKURO HAMYEON U TTER HANN GA YO? )
B: Are you serious? Let it remain as it is
진심이야? 그냥 그대로 나둬 ( JINSIM E YA? Keu-Nyang Keu Dae Ro Na Dwo. )

I hope i made good letters to pronounce with your accent. I really tried my best.

Incase of the first sentence,
E RUN SIKURO HAMYEON U TTER HANN GA YO?

E Run Sik... means This way

And When you try to suggest some thing you want
You would say like Why don't we ... blahblah
In korean, however, you can say blahblah~ U TTER HANN GA YO?

Yo is alway added on end of sentences you make if you try to make respectful way of speaking.

Korean use the couple of diffent respectful way of speaking according to the relationship with the someone you talking to.
When you talk with your close friend, you don't need to add the YO things. But when you try to speak with some one you first to see each other or who is older than you etc
You should remember the word 'YO' you have to add on every end of speaking.
Got it?
hahahaha


Next is the Are you Serious?

진심이야? 그냥 그대로 나둬 ( JINSIM E YA? Keu-Nyang Keu Dae Ro Na Dwo. )

JIN SIM mean your the whole[true] heart or sincerity.

진심(眞心)

In chinese letter we can pronounce it as a korean way.
진 JIN 眞 True, sincerity..etc
심 SIM 心 heart


There are too much to explain the whole bunch of meaning with chinese.

Let me briefly talk only about uses with JIN SIM E YA? things

I hope you can't directly say that word to your partner if you are not familar with him or her.
As i said, Always remember the word, YO.

If you want to use that kind of way asking for their intend or thought by some one you are not that close with or older than you, you have to be careful and show repectful expression with.... YO.

You have to change the someword, E YA within JIN SIM E YA . OK?

You 'd better say JIN SIM E SE YO?
진심이세요?

Feel free to ask me if you have a question about korean plz~~!!

Who is creating a stir on the Internet.

Maybe, I think the atmosphere of internet forum in South korea lately looks like the picture above.
If there is stupid crappy stuff on public, people using an internet started to look it as their own prey, and they used to slammed and attacked then, creating a huge stir all over the website.

I think it is common situation we can easily see on the Korea' s internet experiences.
Every people behind the monitor have their own thought and standard to make their opinion and decision for issues
But, given the case of Park jaeboem who had kick out by judgement of public on internet forum due to the remark he made on his website when he was young,
I couldn't stop to think this is not right and make me think that using the internet for sharing each of our opinions for free without any management is really totally dangerous.
This environment is little similar case with hysteria generated for witch-hunt on the middle age. I have been thinking that intenet is the ideal tool to optimize the way of sharable communication between people. it would make people more considerable with various knoweldge given by each people on internet.
Unfortunately, it is not that true in case of South Korea.

You would recognize what happened these days in S. Korea with above article

One of the female student appeared on popular TV show and make a remark that

A short man is a loser!!

According to her measurement method for qualifiable man should taller than 6 ft at least.
and every man under that tall is completly LOSER.

That 's what she said on the air.
As soon as i heard this comment on live air. I was totally losing my mind.
Well because of what ?
Because of fact that i am under that measure so i couldn't reach to the qualification of her ?

No, absolutely not!

Because the KBS, the nation's largest and influencible broadcasting firm was airing this extremly delirious comments without any fixing or editing.
Are they crazy?




the funny things that i want to point out is some rumor that is related to late Naval Clash.
Coincidentally, the naval clash in west sea between South and North korea was happened after day of this air.
Netizen began to make fun of this air and remark that Miss Lee who made remark about loser thing also did infuriate Kim jeong il in North korea to mad. so he send the Special force team to take her out with naval.
According to the article below
' North Korea Thursday blamed this week's naval clash on a "conspiracy" by South Korea's military to thwart the current mood of cross-border dialogue.'

Netizen pointed out the Miss Lee that She was the one who made the conspiracy for naval clash.
Because Kim jeong il is also fail to her qualification.





After that Netizen bring all the celebrities who is unqualifiable for her method.
including a photo of actor Tom Cruise with a caption ``Tomc Loser.''


well
anyway
Lee was not the only one who spoke out the reckless comment on the air. their were more 11 female guests deriding short man or poor man etc. Every comment was absolutely rubbish.

i dont want to blame to their own thoght and Superficiality.
In these days Superficiality is engrained in the culture. i knew that is not the typical opinion for only her . (yeah there were 11 more... on the air. )

But i want to quote the one of the comment among the netizen that

...the reason the netizens jumped on this one is due to a certain short-guy complex among the Korean "netizens." If these netizens were consistent, they would realize women discriminating against short men is the same as the netizens discriminating against fat, ugly, or scarred women in their "internet searches."

that's right the hysteria among community on internet jumped on this story without any considerable thought and reasonable acting and worked tiself into a frenzy. that's all about us in internet.
We need to more careful and regard the using internet more compelling tool based on responsibility.

But i can't stand for the broadcasting that they expected these controvercial act from netizen and intentionally aired the crappy comments for higher viewer rating.
