"Blogs" vs. "Cafés" in Korea
Earlier this evening, in a graduate-level class, two students presented a presentation on blogs. One of the points discussed was the lack of popularity of "blogging" in Korea. "Cafés" were said to be popular due to the communal nature of Korean culture, whereas "blogs," due to a traditional lack of individualism in Korean society, have not caught on. It was also suggested that in tech-savvy Korea, the relatively "primitive" technology used in "blogging" was looked down upon.
Blogito ergo sum.
