Join the crowd

We continuously read excited pieces about what will happen when "xyz.com" comes to China. From outside, there is a naive belief that the big international on-line brands are bound to do better than the local upstarts. This has often proven not to be the case (vis Google/Baidu and Taobao/Ebay). I noted, with interest, then this posting on the Danwei blog listing all the major video services already available within China. These include:

Tudou
Rox
6 Rooms
Pomoho
56.com
Yuqoo
OmyTVs
Wangyou
Mofile
Qing Yule
Mop.com
UUme.com
Yijian
Mojiti
Biku
OuOu
5 Show
Mantou TV
MySee
VVLogger.com

Look at the Danwei post for a neat description of each one. But, boy, it looks crowded out there.

Update: Nice post here on China Web 2.0 Review with details of recent upgrades to Tudou which is apparently the original Chinese web-based video sharing service.
