It has a quite different image from usual web forums. For a net-savvy Chinese, the word “BBS” means always those black telnet windows with pretty ASCII arts and students and alumni.

I think that the format of the content (be it forum or blog or sns is less relevant than the content.) @Chang, Japan has a wide variety of blogs (largely anonymous) as well as a very active BBS/forum culture as well as two popular SNSes (mixi, gree) so I think people go where they are comfortable and where there is content that they are interested in.

It is only used by a certain segment of Internet users but it is clearly a very popular place to share information and communicate anonymously. I think East Asian Internet cultures have as many differences as they have similarities. Partly due to history (when the Internet became available to the average person), partly due to technologies (mobile, for instance is quite different within East Asia; e.g. there is no SMS in Japan and 3G in Japan was not compatible with other global 3G standards until very recently; WiBro in Korea and nowhere else), and partly due to cultural differences. There's lessons to be learned, for sure, but they are not obvious. For instance, console gaming, huge in Japan, is a fraction of the relative size it would be in China and non-existent in S. Korea, where PC gaming is the rule. World of Warcraft- hugely popular in China. Dead in the water elsewhere in East Asia. Starcraft hugely popular in S. Korea, and nowhere else.

Obviously the two countries/cultures are different and the path of web evolution in the two countries will certainly be different. Having said that, I just believe that every single person in China is entitled to be his/her own unique voice, and I don't think BBS is the best platform out there for these unique voices to express their unique views... but then the societal atmosphere in China might not allow these self-expressions yet..

Interesting response to Mr. Kim's comment. You failed, however, to consider the fact that BBS is one of the few free venues of expression available to mainland Chinese. So I'm not so sure that the differences between South Korea and the People's Republic of China (not China) are a cultural thing. Hmm. Interesting response to Mr. Kim’s comment.
