Hi ma name is Yoojin and I'm a korean
First of all, I'm really greatful to be posting here about what i think of
especially, I'm workin' in the part of IT.
and my favorite area is the Virtual World, including Second Life etc.
but still as all the people may know that
Korea is one of the biggest market in Virtual World but we haven't established the
advenced site like a Second Life which was evolved for development in the business area.
I think that SL is really, totally innovative creation for way of BS in the future.
but Korea doesn't look like to be participated in those stream to belong to innovation.
AS the one who really is interesting in those VW stuff, I'll post alot of info concerning how korea market in Second Life is processing and what korea's Virtual World corp and comunity
have possibility in this field, as much as i can.
Some thing might be wrong with my mistakes and my misunderstood.
but i would really be exhilarated by posting on the website and plunged into blog ocean.
(actually' i've got a korean blog in Naver.com however i mean it to be part of Blogger.com)
Since i began to work and research in Virtual World with exploring every single SL's blog,
I 've dreamed Making a Blog as part of famous expertised blog based on Virtual World and Second Life..

Second Life finally launched their official service in korea from 25th, January in this year.
Korean from Global Corp to private Community began to search their new possiblity of Virtual market.
Linden lab is also pointed out Korea as one of the biggest challenge due to the infrastructure of korea and nationality. so that Linden can be early leader of virtual world market with standing upon a rock named korea, firmly
i can see that we could be share many info and opinion with global people in second life.
Second Life will be a daily space to mingle with alot of friends around the world.
until then i would make source and info from korea, south toward the world SL blog
associated with interesting and funny stuff in SL korea.
