However, the knowledge-brokering application, similar to "Yahoo! Answers" of the United States, proved to be a big hit and catapulted Naver into the country's top portal site. Five years after its premiere, the database of the community-driven services is still expanding at a rapid pace as the size just topped 60 million.
