Web Services

Did you guys hear???
WordPress now offers 3gb of space! Yay!!!
I can finally stop looking for some web server to host my files (as long as I don’t use the 3gb soon)

This is how Cyworld probably beat all other services in Korea. First off it’s free, as long as you don’t buy “acorns” to dress up your avatars, decorate your miniroom, show originality in your story room, or change “skins” for your “minihompy.” In fact, this is exactly how Cyworld mainly makes money out of the users. They make people pay to decorate their homepages to supposedly express themselves (the word supposedly because it is more of an image you want people to see of you). On the bright side, Cyworld does notĀ impose any limitations on file space for movies/pictures/blogs etc. You can have a homepage that looks dull, but full of content without limits.

Facebook has similar characteristics… Only that having the option to only upload 60 pictures per album seems rather… stupid… Oh, did I mention how much I despise the stupid 3rd party apps such as “superwall,” “zombie,” “Hot or not,” or “Texas Hold’em”? The good news in this area is that Facebook plans to make a link in everyone’s profile that “expands.” This basically means that 3rd party applications are hidden from your profile from others and there is a link for “extended profile” which is basically “show all the 3rd party crap.”

WordPress

December 21, 2007

I decided to use wordpress again.
So, welcome ^__^

To start a fresh new start, I deleted all the previous posts and am starting this as if it’s a new blog.

My first ever blog, xanga, will probably remain online though.
