I feel you on the WiFi. The…"

We have all heard how ubiquitous the wifi coverage in Korea is, but I often wonder, "What is the point of being online everywhere if I can't access local (Korean) websites?" I'm a Google Chrome user…Continue

Is it possible to use "guest" wi-fi?
Started this discussion. Last reply by Brian Haferkamp. 7 Replies 0 Likes
I have been trying to use the guest pass wi-fi on the subway. It's been months and I can never get it to work. Is it me or does it just not work unless you have a monthly account? It's frustrating…Continue

Ben Plantan replied to Brian Haferkamp's discussion Is it possible to use "guest" wi-fi?"It doesn't work unless you have an account. "Free" wifi is probably my biggest pet peeve in Korea -- for one of hte most wired countries in the world, it's so, so hard to connect in many places as a foreigner. Even in…"

Dustin R Cook replied to Brian Haferkamp's discussion Insights Into Korean Websites and Designs"Actually only 24.6% of Koreans use IE6 (This is still quite a lot though not the overwhelming majority). The rest are forced to keep IE6. Besides that fact that less and less are slowly relying on IE6 I think your basic argument of…"
Philipp Grunwald replied to Brian Haferkamp's discussion Insights Into Korean Websites and Designs"Dear Mr. Haferkamp,
I don't think you are spoiled from the USA ^^ and I totally agree with you! Concerning "copy and paste":
Frustrating and infuriating enough this isn't even possible on most major sites like Naver blogs or…"
Brian Haferkamp replied to Brian Haferkamp's discussion Insights Into Korean Websites and Designs"I know that Korean companies and organizations have probably spent considerable amounts of income on their current sites. That's why I suggested an add-on site that could be served to English-speakers.
On the mobile issue, I have an iPad and…"
Philipp Grunwald replied to Brian Haferkamp's discussion Insights Into Korean Websites and Designs"I have to agree with Brian, but for a different reason:
The problem for most is the "spilt milk". They already invested in their websites. I am of the strong opinion that if a Korean company starts out now they should and can achieve all…"
Brian Haferkamp replied to Brian Haferkamp's discussion Insights Into Korean Websites and Designs"It's no longer enough to be participating only in Korea. The world is being invited to come here and Korea is going out into the world. The world, for the most part, does not use IE 6 (thank goodness). Because of the realities of doing business…"
Brian replied to Brian Haferkamp's discussion Insights Into Korean Websites and Designs"Korean websites are designed by and for Koreans. Why should they care if anyone else in a tiny minority can't view them? It takes more time, effort and money to be compliant when an overwhelming majority of Koreans still use IE6."

We have all heard how ubiquitous the wifi coverage in Korea is, but I often wonder, "What is the point of being online everywhere if I can't access local (Korean) websites?" I'm a Google Chrome user and also have an iPad. This means I'm almost completely shut out of many Korean websites, even on the English side. We've all experienced the frustrations of being forced to use Internet Explorer 6 (maybe the worst browser in history).I just came across an article explaining the thinking behind the…See More

I'm actually not seeing it come up for me. I am using the iPad app, but I also tried the website. Maybe they're rolling it out a little at a time? It looks to me like you can choose whether or not you want to see the social…"
Steven S. Bammel replied to Brian Haferkamp's discussion Google search gets personal"Yeah, I just noticed that today too. It's a pretty potent concept but I kind of wonder if I'm going to get annoyed by various personal results when I'm out searching for stuff that's not related. I guess Google will be tweaking…"
