- snorkel 16y agoThis is why Lycos was able to survive on life support for so long. Seems Daum thought they were buying a prestige brand in US after Lycos star was already dimmed. A classic example of a distant parent not understanding the local trends.
- coderdude 16y agoInteresting. I was going to post earlier that I had a hunch Lycos was big is S. Korea after the main character in "My Sassy Girl" (2001) is seen using Lycos for his email. I figured that since it was 2001 it might not be the case anymore, but maybe it still is big out there.
- elblanco 16y agoI have a feeling that must have been some kind of product placement. I've rarely seen anybody in Korea not on Daum or Naver.
