As Gillmor moves, what happens to Bayosphere?

Being a journalist at heart, I've blogged about and have kept an eye on OhMyNews. It is definitely a ground-breaking site.
But, maybe we shouldn't look at "What does OhMyNews have that Bayosphere lacks?"
Rather, we should look at the differences in society and culture between South Korea and the U.S.
Are Koreans more technically-aware and have a greater use of camera 'phones, digital cameras and other "tools" to make citizen journalism easier for the average person?
Or, maybe the history and tradition of media in the U.S. is greater than in Korea? We are used to individual freedoms, such as writing letters to the editor. So the novelty or the ability of one person to make an impact -- such as reporting news -- is a culturally newer and a bigger deal in Korea than in the U.S.
Though there can be inherent problems with citJ sites, I am glad to see more and more popping up in the U.S. Orato is one, along with Pegasus News (Dallas) and Backfence.com.
