Someone just pointed me to a user-genrated video website in China called TooDou.com. Supposedly it is a community that has grown into the thousands since earlier this year. People are uploading video and audio in Chinese. This is awesome. Here is their about page with some articles in (rough) English. Wong of Duller says:
Toodou has been up since April of 2005. Currently it’s members have reach: -unknown- anyway, they have more than 13,000 channels now and increasing rapidly for both members and channels. Everyone can be a member. “Everyone can be director” is the slogan they’re using to promote their service… like blogger, everyone can have several ‘channels’ and each channel are given 100 mb. Users are encouraged to use p2p software… lol… I’m not from China so i’m not very sure how popular about that… but one thing I’m sure is podcast is more pop than vlog in China… what’s more concern by China blogger/podcaster/vlogger is the revenue they can make.
It’s something exciting because I have had very little success finding Chinese videobloggers. The language and cultural differences are still very dense, but maybe this is changing as people start making their own media. The “bridge builders” will show up and start introducing their community to know what’s happening “outside”. Then a common language can start forming. This is the dream.
