Daum (Korean: 다음; ) is a popular web portal in South Korea, with its rival Naver. Daum offers many Internet services to web users, including a popular free web-based e-mail, messaging service, forums, shopping and news.
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, hanmail.net. After the merging, daum started the forum service DaumCafe which brought its firm status in the market. The term cafe 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.
Daum has about 1,200 employees as of June, 2006.

Daum（ダウム, Daum Communications Corp., ハングル: , ）は、大韓民国最大のポータルサイト。またはこれを運営する企業。1995年2月に創業した。
ポータルサイト事業のライバルであるネイバーと同様、ウェブベースのフリー電子メールサービス、インスタントメッセージ、フォーラム、ニュース、ショッピングサイトなどを運営している。ダウムはインターネット利用者に人気が高く、ブロードバンド利用者が多く回線速度が世界有数の速さを誇る韓国において一定の影響力を持っている。
ダウムの人気は提供するサービスの幅もさることながら、ここが韓国最初の大規模ポータルサイトであった事実にも基づいている。ダウムはかつて最も一般的だったメールサービスの hanmeil.netを買収し注目を浴び、「ダウムカフェ」というフォーラムサービスを開始してその地位を確立した。様々な話題を取り扱うカフェを利用者が立ち上げた結果その種類も数も大幅に増え、現在「カフェ」という語は韓国では「インターネットフォーラム」と同義語ともなっている。
2004年8月にはダウムはライコスを9,540万ドルで傘下におさめた。"
