This service was released in January of this year and I don’t think it’s gotten the fanfare it deserves. Daum is kind of comparable to Microsoft in that it was first on the scene when the internet first became well-known in the 90s, and for a while it was the site to go to. It was eventually replaced by Naver as the number one search engine and portal. This time though they’ve beaten their competitors to the punch by investing a ton of money to drive around Seoul and Gyeonggi-do (the province surrounding the capital city) and create their version of Street View, which they call Road View (로드뷰). Here’s what it looks like:

This is an intersection by COEX (an international convention centre) and a temple known as Bongeun-sa, where all the friendly cats are. The interface is all in Korean though so I’ll explain how to use it (it’s almost the same).

…………………………………………………..Clive Thompson, a columnist for WIRED magazine has recently shown his excitement about how the real-time Web is leaving Google behind.  But I’d say that Koreans had been there, done that and do not have much good to share with others. 

Source:image.ohmynews.com

From its early days in 1990s, the Korean Web has been the Web of immediacy, an ideal space for the restless young Koreans searching for an instant gratification with the help of their online peers. Naver, Daum and other key portals in Korea fostered the such trends by combining news and search box in their main page and soon growing as a single destination for the national conversation. Lastly, they topped them off with a display of the real-time beat of hot search keywords, maintaining them as one of the most prominent features for years, as it was the useful index for users to follow the hot conversation of the day. Naver has even released an iPhone app of its hot keyword service. 

Funny thing is, many news media, hyper-sensitive about incoming search traffic from portals, has dutifully followed the hot search keywords up to the minute, generating relevant articles that include those keywords, and thus attracting bulk search traffic. Sometimes even news sites that pursue the quality journalism jumped on the bandwagon of keyword hunting, defending their action that the very fact Netizens are buzzing about some issues is good enough to warrant some follow-up stories.

It was a vicious cycle in the Web of immediacy, as the portal’s news content galvanized users to conduct a series of spontaneous online searches around the day’s hot keywords. And that in turn triggered news media to generate more articles about the issues, resulting in the growing dominance of the real-time Web among Koreans.

Part 1 of my notes on the Society of the Query conference can be found here.

David Gugerli a historian specialized in the philosophy of science gave a lecture on the history of databases and of data management as a signifying practice. In a Deleuzian fashion, he states, knowledge operates in distributed networks. The world is a database and database management systems are shaping our world. It is a very big market (think IBM, Oracle and Microsoft)  with a high level of client lock-in where people are very dependent on their data management systems. Before however (in old databases) data was structured in a hierarchical tree-system. In this way the structure of the database determined which questions could be asked. With the coming of the search and query language every possible combination of entries could be interpreted based on recombination and relation. This meant that interpretation of data became independent of the data structure and place. These new systems were highly efficient and made for new and unexpected questions. They were also more narrative based. Gugerli compares this rise of the relational database model with the rise of critical thinking in the 60’s. Critical thinkers like Barthes, Derrida and Foucault found that a literary work could be seen as a machine that can deliver interpretations. It is a galaxy of signifiers, it has no beginning and we can gain access to it in different ways, none of which is authorative. The interpretation of the text cannot be determined by its author, the interpretations the reader produces when reading are part of its meaning. These traits can also be seen in the development of database concepts: the cultural consequences of these changes are stupendous, according to Gugerli. They do not only influence the relation between author and text but effect any form of information processing in every format. This also has big societal consequences for it has changed our information processing and caused major changes in software structure. The search society and its idea of recombination operates in real time. This requires continued change management, Gugerli concludes, a permanent fluctuation of its composition, of its practices of search and query, which shows the importance of the underlying (relational) database system. The full text of Gugerli’s talk can be downloaded here

Matthew Fuller took a closer look in his talk at the alternative modalities of search and how to develop them. He states that search engines have a morphology, a scheme that generates body, they have different internal structures. Search engines can be seen as cultural machines, they connect information and knowledge. Fuller states that since the rationalization of culture is impossible, this explains the noisiness and the inaccuracy of search engines. Search engines also focus on the analysis of users and the identification of situations. This is an even more abstract process than mere personalization, where the user is not individuated but recognized as a force that produces information. As Fuller states, we need to think on the basis of populations of data producing subjects instead of on the basis of individuals. We need to focus on the dynamics and conditions of search engines. Fuller goes on to discuss different kind of search engines, in order to delve deeper into the morphology of search. Viewzi for instance adopted the aesthetics of the iPhone into a search engine, it makes maps of images and lets you see if they are linked in any way. Oamos views information search as an experience. It is not a full search engine but it uses results from a certain amount of search engines and it looks at relational information. Kartoo and Liveplasma are examples of network visualization interfaces. DAUM, NAVER (both Korean) and Directionless.info of context driven engines. With these examples Fuller gave a good overview of the multiple possibilities for search and the different possibilities for interface design. Fuller states that delving deeper into the complexities of the web and its users and reflecting this in its design is the challenge for the next wave of search.

Lev Manovich’s lecture focused on how we can learn from Google. How can the search engine design serve as a new methodology for cultural analysis, or, how can we use Google as a tool for cultural analysis? First of all he stresses it is important to look at the size of our data. Most of the time cultural analysis focuses on a very small sample of cultural production, where a search engine uses every accessible web document (and now Google also indexes Twitter and Facebook) offering much larger scale for analysis of contemporary cultural production and interpretation. Secondly, when it comes to categorization, mostly cultural objects are placed into small numbers of genres/categories. A search engine can make an analysis of each web document to generate its unique description (using 200+ signals). As Manovich states, although significant research in automatic classification of web pages into genres exist, Google does not use it, because it wants to give you any page that is most relevant. Thirdly, when it concerns “links”, traditionally cultural criticism gives an analysis of a small number of selective links (“influences”) between a given object/person and others. A search engine on the other hand gives a systematic consideration of all (explicitly defined) links between a given web page and other pages. Fourthly, Manovich states that what is very important in cultural production, is that it builds on the old, on old features (characteristics, attributes, dimensions), or a small number of subjectively selected features different from text to text. A search engine focuses on lots of features and can take the interaction with the user into consideration. Where traditionally in cultural analysis theoretical work does focus on reception, in practice it gives more an analysis of documents as experienced by a critic. Web analytics on the other hand can give a good analysis of user interactions with a web site. As Manovich states, cultural analysis looks from one critique, and is thus is not empirical, as it does not look at the user interactions with cultural products. Next, when it comes to zoomability, in cultural analysis the focus is mostly on a document, a creator, group, period or paradigm with highly uneven coverage. With Google search technology or Google trends the search patterns of billions of people over a number of years can be analyzed. Think of the possibilities of Google Earth and Google Street View. As Manovich states, software developed by the digital culture industry and also by the academy often contains innovative theoretical ideas about culture which are embedded in its design (i.e. what software does to calculate the results). However this design is often used to support an outdated (i.e. 20^th century) understanding of culture when it comes to search (looking for particular members of a set) or classification of culture into a small number of genres. Manovich understands the search technology as a new paradigm for cultural analysis: what if we take the principles from search engines, web analytics and Google trends (interactive visualization of patterns), and imbed them in new software tools for analysis? In this way we can extract features from each document in a set, instead of using the features to classify documents into a few classes, and we can visualize the patterns and the variability across a set. As Manovich concludes, the old search paradigm is based on knowing what you want to find, where the new search paradigm is based on finding relations. Manovich ends by asking: might Google take over the Humanities?

Alessandro Ludovico and Christophe Bruno both focused on the potential search engines offer to art, by both using search engines and by reflecting upon them (in an often critical and playful manner). Ludovico discusses his project Google Will Eat Itself (GWEI), in which he established a fake website about online marketing, and subscribed to the Google AddSense program, which lets you publish Google textual adds on your web site. After opening a bank account for the project, they developed a special software which would generate an unique IP address, simulating a user, and would make automatic clicks on the adds by Google. As Ludovico explained, it would be impossible to define a fraudulent click from a true one, making it hard for Google to ban them. Ludovico sees GWEI as a conceptual artwork, as a scientific experiment. Through this project they got a lot of attention in the media. As Ludovico concluded, the worst enemy of a giant is not another giant, it is a parasite. If enough parasites would suck out enough money, it will suck the giant empty. Ludovico wants to dissect, decode and expose these giants through conceptual artworks and theories in order to create cultural anti-bodies. Christophe Bruno also discussed some of his recent artworks or Google hacks. He mentioned Ephiphanies,  a Google Poetry hack which he developed (based on Joyce’s walks in Dublin during which Joyce would collect random sentences overheard). Keywords typed into the Ephiphanies machine will collect random sentences from Google and send them back to the program to form a new poetical structure. Poet Ton van ’t Hof gave a short introduction on Flarf, a cut-up technique using Google search results, rearranging them to make a new text. As Van ‘t Hof explains, these kind of cut-up techniques are not new, as they have been used before in the 1920s by the Surrealists, and in the 50s and 60s by for instance Burroughs. As Van ‘t Hof states, its first practitioners practiced an aesthetic dedicated to ‘the exploration of the inappropriate in all its guises’. The idea behind Flarf is to mine the internet with odd search terms and then to distill them into often hilarious and sometimes disturbing poems, or plays on other texts. According to Van ‘t Hof the genre is very popular now and would not have existed without Internet or without Google.

Daum atau Naver adalah situs fanbase artis2 Korea dimana disitu kita bisa tahu kegiatan2 artis favorit kita, lihat news terbaru, dan sharing bareng sesama fans. Nah, para member DBSK pun punya fanbase atau fanclub juga disitu.

Tiap bulan pasti ada ranking yang menunjukkan banyaknya pengunjung dan share penggemar yang masuk di fanbase itu.

Pertanyaannya..

Siapa sih member DBSK yang fanbase/fanclubnya paling rame dikunjungi?

Jawabannya under the cut yaa..^^!

Urutan fanclub member DBSK terbesar jumlah pengunjungnya adalah..

1. Xiah
2. Micky

PS: Urutan ranking diatas adalah ranking yang terbaru saat ini..berarti bisa berubah kapan saja..^^!

Well, mau cerita dikit nih..

Waktu aku masuk ke daum, terus di ’search’ aku ketik ‘Xiah Junsu’ (berhubung aku nggak tau alamat daumnya Junsu), ternyata dihasil pencariannya ada daum dengan tulisan ‘Antixiahjunsu’! Wow..ternyata Xiah juga ada yang benci ya? Yah, namanya juga orang..punya selera yang berbeda-beda..^^!

Cuma gitu aja ceritanya, hehe..

2009 has sure been an eventful year – and to celebrate such a year, Google Zeitgeist has released the list of their Top 10 Most Searched terms in several different categories for several countries. Among those countries was South Korea. In the Entertainment / Celebrity Category, the girls of Girls’ Generation / SNSD came out on top.

Top 10 Searched Celebrities:
SNSD / Girls’ Generation
Kim Ah Joong
Jang Ja Yeon
UEE
2NE1
Jessica Gomez
Baek Ji Young
2PM

I found this at Soompi. Seems like even Korean WonderfulVIPs wants to see some Bang-Girls action!

A huge thanks to gyalmo@Soompi.! Read it here!

Korean daum comments:

* 2007,2008…. now 2009 has to also be Bang-Girl collaboration [ for the people who aren't aware.. koreans call them Bang-Girl instead of Wonderbang].
* YG and JYP ahjushi make this happen!
* KwonMin line to make comeback this year.. aja aja [ in korea the official couple is g-ye .. who are known as KwonMin]
** yes.. last year was a conspiracy!! Only Daesung and Yeeun performance gave me satisfaction. [ all the other couples were tossed around]
* Impossible maybe but I still want T.T
* You think I would be sick of them already, but I still want more.
* 2PM and 2NE1 are good groups but the magic was not recaptured.
** poor substitutes, I agree.

Maçın ardından düzenlenen basın toplantısında karşılaşmayı değerlendiren Alman teknik adam, siyah-beyazlı ekibi galibiyeti nedeniyle kutlayarak, “İlk yarıda iyi oynadığımızı düşünüyorum. Maalesef ikinci yarıda ilk yarıdaki futbolu sürdüremedik. Ayrıca ikinci yarıda çok önemli hatalar yaptık. Bu hatalardan ders almalıyız” diye konuştu.
Daha geniş açıklama için Devamını Okuyun`a tıklayınız.
Emre’nin sakatlanıp çıkmak istediği an ve ardından yenilen golle ilgili bir soru üzerine Daum, “O anda değiştirebilecek bir futbolcumuz yoktu. O da sahada kaldı. Şimdi ’Keşke Emre yere yatsaydı, keşke orada maç dursaydı’ diyoruz. Tabii olanları gördükten sonra böyle düşünüyoruz. Emre sakat sakat koştu, keşke yapmasaydı bunu. Yere yatsaydı ve istediğimiz gibi değişikliği yapsaydık” dedi.

GÜİZA SORUSUNU CENTİLMEN BULMADI
Güiza’nın bugünkü maçta ilk 11’de yer almayacağını öğrenince dün akşamki antrenmanı yarıda bıraktığı, bu nedenle de bugün kadroda olmadığı yönünde iddialar olduğu ifade edilerek yöneltilen soruyu centilmence bulmadığını belirten Daum, şöyle konuştu:

“Spekülasyonları hiç anlamıyorum. Tabii zamanla bu spekülasyonlarla yaşamayı öğreniyorsunuz. Aynı zamanda kimi medya organlarında çıkan, benim şike yaptığım sözler de söylendi. Gayet ilginç. Bunları, internet sayfalarını yazan kişiler bugüne dek benden özür dilemediler. Özellikle basın mensupları sağdan soldan duyduklarına bayağı önem veriyorlar. Ben sizin sorduğunuz soruya yanıt verirsem, belki birşey varmış gibi olacak. ’Güiza hakkında neler oldu’ diye sorarsanız daha centilmence olurdu. Ama spekülasyon dolu olan bir soruya yanıt vermek istemiyorum.”

Kazım ve Emre’nin futbol dışı hareketlerinin yenilgide ne denli payı olduğu sorusuna da Daum, “Hep birlikte yitirdik, hedefimize kavuşamadık. Yalnızca 2 kişiye bağlamamak gerekir. Daha ilerki maçlarda daha iyi olmalıyız. Derbi maçlar her zaman mücadeleci geçer, sert maçlar olur. Her takım kendine göre herşeyi denemek ister, yüreğini ortaya koyar. Bunu Beşiktaş bugün biraz daha iyi yaptı maalesef” diye yanıt verdi.

“KİMİ FUTBOLCULARIMIZ TAHRİK EDİLİYOR”
Emre’nin, takım arkadaşı Dos Santos ile tartışması ve dün Kazım’ın bir internet sitesinde “8JK’yi yeneceğiz” biçimindeki ifadeleriyle ilgili soru üzerine de Daum, şöyle konuştu:

“Bir takımın tartışması birbiriyle konuşması gayet normaldir, doğaldır. Bugüne dek başarılı olduk, halen başarılıyız. Bu gayet normal bir davranış. Antrenmanlarımızı izleyenler bunu bilir, atmosfer çok iyidir. Sorun yok. Bence takımın karakteri çok iyi, bundan eminim. Ama kimi futbolcularımız tahrik ediliyor, bunu da biliyoruz. Onların daha sakin kalmaları gerekir. Kazım konusundan hiç haberim yok. O sözcüğü bilmiyorum, daha önce hiç duymadım. Kazım, bildiğiniz gibi İngiltere’den gelen bir oyuncu. Belki mantalite farkı vardır. Burada belki o şaka olarak görülmüyor, belki kırıcı olabilir ama İngiltere’de şaka olarak algılanabilir. Bizim hiçbir takımla sorunumuz yok. Her takıma karşı saygı duyuyoruz. Benim saygı duyduğum gibi futbolcularımdan da bu saygıyı istiyorum.”

“LUGANO (YORGUNUM OYNAYAMAM) DEMEDİ”
Bir soru üzerine de Daum, Uruguay Milli Takımı’ndan uzun bir yolculuktan sonra yorgun dönen Lugano’nun kendisine veya yardımcısına “Yorgunum oynayamam” biçiminde birşey söylemediğini bildirdi.
Fenerbahçe Teknik Direktörü, “Yitirdiğiniz zaman inanılmaz şeyler doğar. Lugano, ne bana ne Ayhan hocaya ’Oynamak istemiyorum, yorgunum’ dedi. Tersine bize ’Hazırım oynamak istiyorum’ dedi. Deneyimim şunu gösteriyor; Bir milli futbolcu milli maçtan döndüğü zaman daha iyi oluyor. Eğer ’Oynamak istemiyorum’ demezse her zaman oynayacaktır” diye konuştu.

“İKİNCİ YARIDAKİ MAÇI DÖRT GÖZLE BEKLİYORUZ”
Daum, maçtan sonra Lig TV’ye yaptığı açıklamada ise, “Bugün BJK İnönü Stadı’ndan en azından 1 puanla dönmek istiyorduk. Bu yenilgiyi başka yerde telafi etmeliyiz. Kadıköy’de ikinci yarıda yapılacak maçı dört gözle bekliyoruz. Telafisi orada olabilir” dedi.

Wie soll man einer unbeteiligten Person erklären, dass man einem Fussballverein verfallen ist, mit allen Stimmungsschwankungen die in eine echte Beziehung hineingehören? Wut, Liebe, Freude, Leidenschaft, Eifersucht und Beleidigtsein…kann man das, indem man die Anzahl der Titel aufzählt? Auf ein dickes Bankkonto verweist? Wie kann man einer nur mäßig interessierten und rational veranlagten Person vermitteln, dass Herzrasen und schweißnasse Hände nicht nur in leidenschaftliche Beziehungen zu anderen Menschen gehören? Dass zwischenmenschliche Bindungen vielleicht sogar anfälliger sind, als die Hingabe zu einem…Fussballverein?

Den Hauch einer Ahnung kann man einer nicht-infizierten Person nur vermitteln, indem man auf subjektive, eigene Erfahrungen verweist. Galatasaray als erster türkischer Club, der international aufhorchen lässt und den ewigen Komplex der Unterlegenheit gegenüber dem „echten Euopa“ lässig abzuschütteln scheint. Ein volles Müngersdorfer Stadion mit 99% gelb-rot gekleideten Türken. Ein durchgeknallter schottischer Trainer, der eine überdimensionale Galatasaray Fahne in den Mittelkreis des Stadions von Erzrivale Fenerbahçe spießt. Galatasaray, das als völliger Underdog gegen den seit Jahren zu Hause ungeschlagenen Giganten Manchester United um Eric Cantona nach einer Viertelstunde 0-2 zurücklieg, dann noch 3 Tore im Old Trafford einschenkt und die Engländer letztendlich auch sensationell aus der Champions League wirft.

Das UEFA-Cup Finale gegen Arsenal in Kopenhagen, wo Thierry Henry in der Verlängerung und mit Golden Goal Regelung aus geschätzten 20 Zentimetern Entfernung einen Kopfball auf das Tor zimmert und das bisschen Leben, das man bis zu diesem Zeitpunkt geführt hat als Kurzfilm vor dem inneren Auge abläuft, weil man zum ersten Mal ahnt, wie sich ein drohender Herzinfarkt anfühlt.

Um also einer unbeteiligten Person ein wenig verständlich machen zu können, warum Galatasaray der beste Club der Welt ist, bedarf es auch an dieser Stelle zumindest einer Anekdote. Hier die Rahmenhandlung:

In der Saison 2005/2006 ist der Belgier Eric Gerets Trainer von Galatasaray. Dieser findet als Voraussetzung  einen finanziell maroden Verein und ein dünn besetztes Team vor. Keine Stars, einige wenige junge Talente wie Arda oder Aydın und mit Farid Ali Mondragon, Stjepan Tomas, Rigobert Song, Alioum Saidou, Marek Heinz und Saša Ilić Legionäre aus der B- oder C- Kategorie, weit entfernt von dem Glanz eines Hagi, Popescu oder Mario Jardel. Dazu einige Altgediente aus verblassenden UEFA-Cup-Zeiten wie Hakan Şükür oder Ergün. Härtester Konkurrent – wie häufig -  Fenerbahçe unter Trainer Daum und mit Spielern zum Zungeschnalzen: Anelka, Tuncay, Appiah, Aurelio oder Alex.

In der ersten Runde des UEFA-Cups scheidet Galatasaray gegen den norwegischen Verein Tromsø aus. Viel tiefer kann man kaum noch sinken, die Saison scheint zu diesem Zeitpunkt bereits gelaufen.

Tiefe Zerwürfnisse innerhalb des Präsidiums, Frust bei den Anhängern und Frust bei Spielern und Trainern, die ihre Gehälter nur schwer oder gar nicht mehr ausgezahlt bekommen. Zwischenzeitlich erscheinen die Profis aus Protest nicht mehr zum Training und Altstar Hakan Şükür hilft den jungen Spielern aus eigener Tasche mit Spenden aus, damit diese ihre Mieten und Rechnungen bezahlen können – wo zudem zum selben Zeitpunkt der neidische Blick über den Zaun Beklemmungen auslöst, wo Fenerbahçe gerade sein Stadion ausbaut und in Luxus und Dekadenz zu schwimmen scheint.

Mit sturer Verbissenheit lässt das Team in der Liga dennoch nicht locker und man liefert sich bis zur Endphase ein Kopf-an-Kopf-Rennen mit Fenerbahçe, Beşiktaş ist zu diesem Zeitpunkt bereits weit abgeschlagen auf Platz 3. Genau 3 Spieltage vor Ende der Saison liegen beide Mannschaften punktgleich an der Tabellenspitze, Fenerbahçe mit nahezu uneinholbarer Tordifferenz.

“20 Uhr 45″.

Es ist genau dieser Zeitpunkt, 3 Spieltage vor Schluss und mit einer satten 0-4 Niederlage gegen den Erzrivalen Fener im Rücken, an dem Vizepräsident Adnan Polat mit fast schon Hoeneßscher Logik in jede Fernsehkamera und in jedes Mikrofon davon spricht, dass „am letzten Spieltag um 20.45 Uhr dennoch “niemand anderes als Galatasaray den Meisterpokal in Händen halten wird”.

Weiter demnächst in Teil 2…

Şimdiye kadar oynadığı Beşiktaş maçlarında iyi bir performans ortaya koyan Güiza’nın, bu derbide de ilk 11′de yer alması bekleniyor.

Son haftalarda yedek kalan  İspanyol oyuncunun, iki maçta da Beşiktaş kalesine gol bırakması Daum’un dikkatini çeken bir istatistik oldu. Alman çalıştırıcı, bu futbolcuyu derbiye özel hazırlama kararı alırken, bundan önce oynadığı Beşiktaş maçlarının kasetlerini izlettirip kendine güvenini kazanmasını sağlayacak. Bu arada taraftarların da güvenini kaybeden Güiza’nın, Beşiktaş maçını kurtuluş olarak gördüğünü söyleyip, Daum’dan görev istediği de belirlendi.

… bin aber grade über dieses Interview gestolpert.

Darin fordert Christoph Daum im letzten Absatz “mit psychischen Erkrankungen viel offener umzugehen. Depressionen seien “keine Kopfschmerzen”, sondern “eine schwere Krankheit, die leider von der Gesellschaft tabuisiert wird. Da heißt es schnell: Mensch, was ist das für ein Weichei.”

Es tut mir leid, lieber Christoph, aber das ist der Hohn. Wer ein ganzes Land an der Nase herumgeführt hat, Stichwort Haaranalyse und “absolut reines Gewissen”, dem steht es meiner Meinung nach nicht zu, in dieser Situation von der Gesellschaft einen offeneren Umgang mit Krankheiten zu fordern. Krankheiten gleich welcher Art.

Auch Drogensucht ist eine Krankheit, ja. Auch dazu kann man stehen und sich therapieren lassen. Das nun Diskussionen angeregt werden wie man Depressionen besser erkennen und behandeln kann, finde ich richtig, nur wer diese Diskussionen teilweise einleitet, begleitet oder vorantreibt mag mir gar nicht gefallen.

Mediengeilheit, Geltungswahn und Selbstüberschätzung,  sind das auch anerkannte Krankheiten, Herr Daum?

2PM’s first full album “1:59PM is out!! I decided to do the romanization for their title track, “Heartbeat” so PLEASE give me (wannabefob) credit. I’m accepting recommendations too!! If you really like a song that you’d like me to write the romanization for, please leave a comment.

I won’t do the romanization for all the songs (I said that I would earlier) because I found that others already did the romanization for all the songs on “1:59PM”. I found that it would be a waste of my time. If you really want me to do the romanization, comment your requests — it can also be other songs that aren’t 2PM-related. Also, before writing this, I already did the romanization for “Gimme the Light” and “My Heart” so check them out!

Translation thanks to TYPICALpocky2@ youtube:

Can you feel my heartbeat

Heartbeat Heartbeat
The heart that you’ve stomped on is still beating and even so towards you.
No matter how hard I try, no matter how many new people I meet, and again and again why I turn around and think of you
I’m going to stop, I want to stop, though I calm and calm myself again its no use, my heart is broken, why?

Why am I still doing these stupid things, my mind seems to understand but why my heart is still acting on its own?
I grabbed you and I still cant let go, It still seems like youre by my side, I cant believe in goodbyes

No matter who I meet, I cant open a part of my heart and I keep leaving a space for you
There’s not reason for you to come back, but my heart keeps believing that you might come back, why won’t it listen?

Listen to my Heartbeat. Its beating for you. Listen to my Heartbeat. Its waiting for you.
It still doesnt know its over, I dont understand why its like this.
Listen to my Heartbeat. Its beating for you. Listen to my Heartbeat. Its waiting for you.
I still hurt at the thought of you, I think of you every time my heart beats.

I have to forget, I have to forget to live, I have to erase you , if not I’ll die.
Stop trying to get her back. She aint coming.
Shes gone, gotta be moving on. She left and shes not coming back, the girl isnt thinking of you.

She hasn’t a clue that I’m waiting and she’s living well, shes already forgotten about me, completed erased.
Why can’t I do that?

Listen to my Heartbeat. Its beating for you. Listen to my Heartbeat. Its waiting for you.
It still doesnt know its over, I dont understand why its like this.
Listen to my Heartbeat. Its beating for you. Listen to my Heartbeat. Its waiting for you.
I still hurt at the thought of you, I think you ever time my heart beats.

My heart is beating Faster and faster (*4)

This time, I found the lyrics on Daum Music which seems faster and better than Cyworld. I’ll probably be using Daum’s lyrics now.

Can you feel my heartbeat

Heartbeat Heartbeat
니가 짓밟고 떠난 심장이 아직도 뛰고 있어 그것도 너를 향해.
잊으려고 아무리 노력해봐도 새로운 사람들을 아무리 만나봐도 계속 다시 또 다시 돌아서면 왜 니 생각만 나는지
안 할래 그만할래 아무리 내 자신을 달래고 또 달래 봐도 아무 소용이 없어 내 심장이 고장나 버렸어 왜
왜 아직도 나는 이런 바보 같은 짓을 하는지 머리론 알겠는데 가슴은 왜 지 맘대론지
너를 잡고 놓지를 못해 지금도 니가 나의 곁에 있는 것 같애 이별을 믿지 못해
누굴 만나도 마음 속 한곳은 열지 못하고 계속 니 자릴 비워놔
올 리가 없는데 올지도 모른다고 왜 믿는지 가슴이 왜 말을 안 듣니
Listen to my Heartbeat. It’s beating for you. Listen to my Heartbeat. It’s waiting for you.
끝났다는 걸 아직도 몰라 왜 이러는지 이해가 안가
Listen to my Heartbeat. It’s beating for you. Listen to my Heartbeat. It’s waiting for you.
너의 생각에 아직도 아파 가슴이 뛸 때 마다 생각나
잊어야 해 잊어야 살수 있어 지워 버려야만 해 안 그러면 내가 죽어 Stop trying to get her back. She ain’t coming
She’s gone, gotta be moving on. 갔어 오지 않아 그년 니 생각 하지 않아
그녀는 내가 기다리는걸 전혀 모른 채 잘 살고 있어 그녀는 이미 날 잊었어 완전히 지웠어 왜 나는 그렇게 못하니
Listen to my Heartbeat. It’s beating for you. Listen to my Heartbeat. It’s waiting for you.
끝났다는 걸 아직도 몰라 왜 이러는지 이해가 안가
Listen to my Heartbeat. It’s beating for you. Listen to my Heartbeat. It’s waiting for you.
너의 생각에 아직도 아파 가슴이 뛸 때 마다 생각나
My heart is beating Faster and faster (*4)

Note: For some words, the sound is g/k so I picked the one I thought was correct. This is also the same for r/l,  b/p and others. I also put dashes in between each syllable so that it would be easier for you guys to follow along with the song & sing along if you wish. (Trust me, I know how it feels to try to sing a song with the whole word all smushed together.)

Romanization:

Can you feel my heartbeat?

Can you feel my heartbeat
니가 짓밟고 떠난 심장이 아직도 뛰고 있어 그것도 너를 향해.
잊으려고 아무리 노력해봐도 새로운 사람들을 아무리 만나봐도 계속 다시 또 다시 돌아서면 왜 니 생각만 나는지
안 할래 그만할래 아무리 내 자신을 달래고 또 달래 봐도 아무 소용이 없어 내 심장이 고장나 버렸어 왜
왜 아직도 나는 이런 바보 같은 짓을 하는지 머리론 알겠는데 가슴은 왜 지 맘대론지
너를 잡고 놓지를 못해 지금도 니가 나의 곁에 있는 것 같애 이별을 믿지 못해
누굴 만나도 마음 속 한곳은 열지 못하고 계속 니 자릴 비워놔
올 리가 없는데 올지도 모른다고 왜 믿는지 가슴이 왜 말을 안 듣니
Listen to my Heartbeat. It’s beating for you Listen to my Heartbeat. It’s waiting for you
끝났다는 걸 아직도 몰라 왜 이러는지 이해가 안가
Listen to my Heartbeat. It’s beating for you Listen to my Heartbeat. It’s waiting for you
너의 생각에 아직도 아파 가슴이 뛸 때 마다 생각나
잊어야 해 잊어야 살수 있어 지워 버려야만 해 안 그러면 내가 죽어 Stop trying to get her back. She ain’t coming
She’s gone, gotta be moving on. 갔어 오지 않아 그년 니 생각 하지 않아
그녀는 내가 기다리는걸 전혀 모른 채 잘 살고 있어 그녀는 이미 날 잊었어 완전히 지웠어 왜 나는 그렇게 못하니
Listen to my Heartbeat. It’s beating for you Listen to my Heartbeat. It’s waiting for you
끝났다는 걸 아직도 몰라 왜 이러는지 이해가 안가
Listen to my Heartbeat. It’s beating for you Listen to my Heartbeat. It’s waiting for you
너의 생각에 아직도 아파 가슴이 뛸 때 마다 생각나

If you’re a Soshified member, you probably have noticed that now SSF has more than 50,000 registered members. That number means Soshified is now the largest international site for any specific K-pop artist. Congrats to Soshified, btw. But how about the Korean fan-cafes?

It’s been revealed that SNSD’s fan-cafes in two most popular Korea portal sites, Daum and Naver, are both the biggest among fan-cafes for idol girl groups. What surprised me is, apparently their Daum fan-cafe is now even bigger than most of Korean boy bands’ out there. Number wise they are only losing to DBSK’s and Big Bang’s! :O Seems like I have underestimate the number of Korean S♥ne…

Daum fan-cafes might have free registration and what not, but it’s not easy to make an account in Daum fan-cafes. To register to Daum you need to have Korean social security number, Hanmail account, and they will even make a phone-call confirmation to verify the account. So I guess the number of Daum fan-cafes’ members can be a pretty legit way to see how many fans each idol groups has. Here’s the top 5 largest Daum fancafes of Korean Idol Groups:

1. Dong Bang Shin Ki (Yuaerubi)- 798,717 Cassiopea
   ___________________
2. Big Bang (YGBigBang) – 379,477 V.I.P
   ___________________
3. So Nyuh Shi Dae (Hwasooeunhwa) – 285,233 S♥ne
   ___________________
4. SS501 (ss501 Cafe) – 279,023 TripleS
   ___________________
5. Super Junior (Chunwheeryong) - 260,808 E.L.F
   ___________________

Note: Notice the difference of numbers between the list and the screencaps? The screen caps were taken few days ago, and the numbers in the list is the current ones (November 9, 2009). Why yes, I’m too lazy to screen caps the current ones. I have no idea how Daum fan cafes work. It’s weird that almost all the number, with the exception of  SNSD’s, are decreasing. I remember DBSK’s fan-cafe, Yuaerubi, used to have the famous 800,000 registered members… but now it “only” has about 790,000 members. Does anybody know why the numbers are decreasing?

Yeniden Kazım!..

Fenerbahçe’de teknik direktör Daum, formsuz golcüler Güiza ve Semih’e gözdağı verdi. Alman hocanın özellikle Kayserispor deplasmanında hiç bir varlık gösteremeyen iki futbolcuyu da uyardığı ve santrfor mevkinde farklı arayışlara girebileceğini söylediği öğrenildi.

Daum’un iki futbolcunun formsuzluğunun sürmesi halinde ligin devre arasında bir santrfor transferini gündeme getirebileceği de ileri sürüldü.

Taktik çalışmalarda Güiza ve Semih’e yedek takımda görev vermesi beklenen Alman hocanın, gözünü yine Kazım’a çevirdiği ve Perşembe günü Steau Bükreş maçında bu futbolcuyu santrfor olarak görevlendireceği belirtildi.

Alman hocanın sakatlığı geçen Alex’i de Steau Bükreş maçında oynayacağı, Özer Hurmacı’ya da en az 70 dakika görev vermeyi planladığı öğrenildi.

Powerful search engines, new displays recently launched by local Net portals

Korea’s Web portals are getting smarter by the day, with operators competing to introduce tools that anticipate what the user is “really” looking for.

This month, on its portal Nate, SK Communications introduced a semantic search system, which uses networks of relationships between terms – rather than simply on the number of times a term appears or the number of hits a certain site receives – to determine the intention of the user and generate accurate results.

Nate is the first Korean portal to feature the method.

Type in the name of actor Lee Min-ho, and the new Nate search gives results that include key information such as Lee’s height and weight, his TV drama roles and his favorite food. The user can then click on these narrower categories for other relevant information via different online documents or blogs.

Nate’s “issue time line” is another smart search function, which lists the amount of information about a certain keyword that has been made available online over the past year. For example, if a celebrity was caught up in a dating scandal, the search engine would display a bar graph of related information about the celebrity since the story broke, including how it progressed over time.

“Semantic search is rising as the next-generation paradigm for online search overseas. With this advanced technology, we intend to rise above the traditional portal market,” said In Chi-bum, public relations head at SK Communications.

But Naver has introduced its own new methods to keep its No. 1 spot in the Korean portal market. It recently started offering a “collection ranking” service, which lists search results that have the highest “satisfaction ratings” from users first.

Unlike other user ranking systems, which display search results based on the most clicks, Naver’s method focuses on how happy users were with their experience.

“This service is a state-of-the-art search technology that even top global portals are still in the process of perfecting,” said Lee Jun-ho, chief operating officer at NHN, which operates Naver.

Naver also recently began offering automatic spelling correction, to find the right results even if the user makes a mistake in typing in the term.

Daum, Korea’s second biggest portal, has upgraded its keyword searches that usually take place on a daily basis to make them easier to use. When a user types in words related to the horoscope, weather, currency, music or another topic, the portal includes additional information.

For example, type in “weather in Gangnam district,” and the portal will show the weather in southern Seoul today, tomorrow and the following day. Type in “music for a rainy day,” and Daum lists various tunes in that category.

Meanwhile, Yahoo Korea has been emphasizing its blog search, which breaks market boundaries to offer results from major blogs on Naver, Daum and other local portals, listed in order of quality. Award-winning blogs are placed right at the top of the list.

Daum Communications, the operator of Korea’s No. 2 Web portal, posted record quarterly sales and tripled its earnings on-year from July to September on revenue from advertisements and its online shopping unit.

The company’s sales climbed 5.1 percent on-year to 61.4 billion won ($51.4 million) in the third quarter, breaking the 60 billion won mark for the first time. Operating profit rose 17.1 percent on-year to 13.5 billion won, while net profit jumped more than threefold compared to the same quarter last year, to 13.6 billion won. Daum’s net profit during the third quarter of 2008 was 4 billion won.

“Our third quarter earnings were a direct result of our services geared toward users’ everyday life, and related advertisements, including banner sales and sponsor links,” the company said in an official statement, adding that it saw a rapid rise in visitor traffic to its main Web site Daum.net.

Sales at the company’s shopping division, which includes “Shoppinghow,” featuring price comparisons from different shopping sites, rose 159.4 percent on-year during the July to September period to a total of 13.3 billion won.

Daum also stated that even though the third quarter is traditionally the off-season for online advertisements, their search ad sales rose to 27.9 billion won, 0.7 percent higher than the same period in 2008, due to companies paying higher costs per-click.

Fenerbahçeliler 6 Kasım 2002’deki 6-0’ı unutamıyor. Bunu bilen Daum, “O zaman Özhan Canaydın bey bizi alkışlamış. Biz iyi oynayarak kazanırsak, bu kez de Adnan Polat da neden alkışlamasın” diyor

Fenerbahçeliler 6 Kasım 2002’yi unutamıyor. Fenerbahçe Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadı’nda oynanan maçı Sarı-Lacivertli takım 6-0 kazanmıştı. O gün statta olan Galatasaray Başkanı Özhan Canaydın, 6. golden sonra, Aziz Yıldırım’ın yanında F.Bahçe’yi alkışlamıştı.

İddialı konuşuyor

Fenerbahçe Teknik Direktörü Christoph Daum, bugünkü maç için son derece iddialı konuşuyor. Daum’un “Saracoğlu’nda taraftarımız bize güven veriyor. Kazanacağız. Öyle tahmin ediyorum ki Adnan Polat bey de bizi alkışlayacaktır” dediği ileri sürüldü.

Kaptan Alex dümende

Gaziantep ve Steaua Bükreş maçlarında forma giyemeyen Alex, derbide oynamaya hazır olduğunu belirterek, “Taraftarımıza yine zafer yaşatmak istiyoruz” dedi.
Gençlerbirliği maçı sonrası yapılan antrenmanda sakatlandığı için Fenerbahçe’nin oynadığı 2 önemli sınavda yer alamayan Kaptan Alex, bugün yeniden takımının başında olacak. Sakatlığını atlatan ve oynayacak duruma gelen Brezilyalı yıldız, hem kendisinin hem takım arkadaşlarının derbiye hazır olduğunu ifade ederek,“Daha önce de söylemiştim, ‘Elbet biz de yenileceğiz’ diye. Bunu Gaziantep’e karşı yaşadık.

‘Bayram yaşatacağız’
Ancak bu yenilgi herşeyin sonu değil. Şimdi tek düşüncemiz, takipçimiz Galatasaray’ı yenerek, Gaziantep mağlubiyetini telafi etmek. Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadı’nda 50 bin taraftarımıza ve televizyonları başındaki milyonlara bayram yaşatmak istiyoruz. Ancak öncelikle centilmence bir maç olmasını temenni ediyoruz. Bundan önce Ali Sami Yen’de oluşan manzarayı, kimseye yaşatmak istemiyoruz. Lider ve ikincinin müthiş bir mücadelesi olacak.
Her zaman bize büyük destek veren muhteşem taraftarımızın itici gücüyle, 90 dakikanın sonunda gülen taraf olmak istiyoruz” açıklamasını yaptı.

Cim Bom maça hazır

Sarı-Kırmızılı ekip, Fenerbahçe maçının hazırlıklarını dün sabah saatlerinde Florya Metin Oktay Tesisleri’nde yapılan antrenmanla tamamladı.Teknik direktör Frank Rijkaard’ın, basın ve taraftara kapalı olarak gerçekleşen bu idmanda derbinin provasını yaptırdığı belirtildi.
Aslan’ın hocası Rijkaard zafer reçetesini yazdı, takımına son uyarısını yaptı: “Sakin olun, disiplini kaybetmeyin. Bu ikisini başarırsanız, galibiyeti getirecek golleri nasılsa buluruz…”
Rijkaard, takımıyla yaptığı son toplantıda Cim Bom’u zafere götürecek reçeteyi açıkladı. İdmanlarda yaptıkları taktik çalışmaları sahada birebir görmek istediğini ifade eden Hollandalı hoca, “Herkes üzerine düşeni yapacak, birbirine yardım edecek. Ancak sadece iyi futbol bu maçı kazanmaya yetmez… Zafer için sizden istediğim çok önemli iki şey var; birincisi atmosfer ne kadar gergin olursa olsun, herkesin size karşı olduğunu düşünseniz bile panik yapmadan, sabırlı oynamanız. Sizin sabırlı ve sakin oynamanız, rakibi rahatsız edecek ve hataya zorlayacaktır. İkincisi; disiplin. Bundan önceki maçlarda yediğimiz gollerin çoğu, disiplini kaybettiğimiz anlarda geldi. Unutmayın, disiplini kaybedersek, derbiyi de kaybederiz” dedi.

‘Lekeyi sileceksiniz’ demişti
47 yaşındaki çalıştırıcı, 4-3’lük Trabzonspor galibiyetinden sonra da oyuncularıyla derbiye yönelik bir konuşma yapmıştı: “Sağ taraftaki oyuncular, Gaziantep-Fenerbahçe maçını ezberlemenizi istiyorum. Roberto Carlos’a çok dikkat edeceksiniz. Deplasmandaki son 3 Fenerbahçe-Galatasaray maçını izledim. Panik oluyorsunuz, panik olduğunuz için de yeniliyorsunuz. Bu maçta siz değil, onlar panik olacak. 9 yıllık tarihi lekeyi sileceksiniz.”

Sakatlıklarını atlatıp dün takımla çalışan Alex ve Güiza’nın yanısıra, önemli birşeyleri olmadığı belirlenen Semih ile Kazım da derbide forma giyebilecek.

Sakatlıklardan çok çeken ve Alex, Güiza, Deivid gibi oyuncularından yararlanamazken, Semih’i de Steaua Bükreş deplasmanında oynatamayan Fenerbahçe’de, derbi öncesi sevindirici gelişme. Romanya’ya götürülmeyen Alex ve Güiza, dün takımla çalışmalara başladı. Antrenmanın tamamında yer alan iki oyuncunun, derbide forma giymelerinde bir engel bulunmadığı belirlendi. Öyle ki, teknik direktör Daum, Kaptan’ın oynamaması durumunda onun görevini kime vereceği sorusuna, “Alex’li bir takım planlıyorum” yanıtı vererek, Sambacı’yı sahaya süreceğini vurguladı. Steaua Bükreş maçı öncesi idmanda sakatlanan ve Avrupa Ligi’nde forma giyemeyen Semih Şentürk’ün de dün çekilen MR’ında önemli birşeyi olmadığı belirlendi. Böylece, Bükreş’te sahaya forvetsiz çıkan Daum’un elinde derbi öncesi iki alternatif birden oluştu: Güiza ve Semih.

Kulübede hangi yabancı oturacak
Bükreş maçında sol ayağına darbe alan Kazım’ın da sakatlığının önemli olmadığı ifade edildi. Bir süre önce Almanya’da ayağındaki platini aldıran ve sahalardan 4-6 hafta uzak kalacağı söyleyen Deivid’in de, önümüzdeki hafta oynayacak duruma geleceği kaydedildi. Deivid dışında 7 yabancısı da oynamaya hazır olan Daum, kimi dışarıda bırakacağını düşünmeye başladı. Alman hocanın, iki alternatif üzerinde durduğu belirlendi. Birincisi tam hazır olmayan Güiza’yı yedek soyundurup, duruma göre ikinci yarıda oyuna almak. İkincisi, formsuz Santos’u kesip, Carlos’un önünde Vederson’u oynatmak.
