Daum ( ; Kosdaq - 035720) is a popular web portal in South Korea, like Naver and Nate. Daum offers many Internet services to web users, including a popular free web-based e-mail, messaging service, forums, shopping and news. The word "daum" means "next" in Korean.

The popularity of Daum is a reflection of the high level of internet use in South Korea. The country has the highest level of broadband users, and one of the most widespread levels of computer and Internet access.

The popularity of Daum stems from the range of services it offers, but also from the fact that it was the first Korean web portal of significant size. Its popularity started when it merged with the then most popular e-mail service, daum.net or hanmail.net. After the merging, Daum started the forum service DaumCafe which brought its firm status in the market. The term cafe and even internet cafe (Different from what is supposed to refer to in Western usage) is now used as the synonym for "Internet forum" in Korean.

On August 2, 2004 Daum announced the purchase of Lycos for $95.4 million, and closed the transaction on October 6. As part of a corporate restructuring to focus on mobile, social networks and location-based serves, Daum sold Lycos for $36 million in August 2010 to Ybrant Digital, an internet marketing company based in Hyderabad, India.

Daum has about 874 employees as of Mar, 2009.

UPDATE: The Aran will be released in GMS on December 9th, 2009!! This short video shows you Tempest, one of the Aran's 4th Job skills. This attack can only be performed when the combo count is 200 or more. To cast the skill, you must press â â + Skill Key. Also, the skill works like Genesis: you can't move when you're casting it. This powerful skill not only freezes the monster, but makes anyone able to one hit ko the freezed monster. The 80000 damage is the monsters' max hp, so monsters in this "iced" state are instantly killed if attacked. So, we can say the skill does the same amount of the monster's HP. Yeah, it's powerful, but you can only use it when your combo is 300 or more, and it is not as easy as it seems.. Full credits to anyone who made the video. The video was taken from tvpot.daum.net broadcasting website. It's highly suggested to watch in high quality (add &fmt=18 to the video URL). Enjoy!
