It's arguably one of the oldest and more successful social-networking sites in the world, and it's now coming to the U.S.

Cyworld, a site based in South Korea, kicked off a beta in the U.S. on July 27 and later this month will formally begin a nationwide tour to encourage Americans, particularly those in the 18-29 demographic, to create personalized Web pages, or minihomes, on the site.

Henry Chon, CEO of Cyworld USA won't say how many users the beta site has attracted but said the number is "way more than we expected."
