Updated China video website listPosted by Jeremy Goldkorn on Saturday, November 25, 2006 at 12:19 PM
The list of players in the Chinese online video space published on Danwei a few days ago has expanded to include more than 20 companies. Below is the updated list. As of 2007.05.23, comments to this post are closed because of increasing spam, so please send any updates or corrections to the feedback address on the about page. Video hosting and sharing websites Tudou Youku Rox 6 Rooms Pomoho 56.com China On TV OmyTVs Wangyou Mofile Qing Yule Mop.com Uume.com Yijian Mojiti has launched Chinese and English versions of its site which does not host video, but allows users to make collections of videos on other video sites, and to search other user collections and video sites. After seeing this post, Mojiti founder Eric Feng wrote to Danwei and explained: "Our mission at Mojiti is to help users tell their own stories with any online video. We're not a video search engine - instead, we want to help users personalize video to create a more engaging viewing experience." Biku OuOu 5 Show Mantou TV Mysee Vvlogger.com Bocoo 365cast 100tv Aeboo Sina and Tencent John Kennedy in the comments also points out these sites: video.daqi.com, Ourpod.cn, Podlook, 91vc.com, 54ck.com, Podcast.com.cn and YS321.com. Phew. Mojiti and Uume.com let users search other video websites for content. Neither of them is as slick and easy to use as the new U.S. based site Blinkx.

Classic Danwei posts
+ Korean history doesn't fly on Chinese TV screens (2007.09): SARFT puts the kibbosh on Korean historical dramas. + Religion and government in an uneasy mix (2008.03): Phoenix Weekly (凤凰周刊) article from October, 2007, on government influence on religious practice in Tibet. + David Moser on Mao impersonators (2004.10): I first became aware of this phenomenon in 1992 when I turned on a Beijing TV variety show and was jolted by the sight of "Mao Zedong" and "Zhou Enlai" playing a game of ping pong. They both gave short, rousing speeches, and then were reverently interviewed by the emcee, who thanked them profusely for taking time off from their governmental duties to appear on the show.

Comments on Updated China video website list
anyone MySpace users in China finding it impossible to access profiles (but are able to log-in)? I'm beginning to feel it has been blocked by Net Nanny. in my blog, i have explained why i think so. if i am permitted to post a link in this comment, then please hop over to http://peoplesrepublicof.blog.com/1290806/ at my People's Republic of... site. Any feedback would be interesting. Cheers.
I usually look for video of police attacks and protests, things that tend to get deleted off Chinese sites but make it to Youtube eventually. On the other hand, things that tend to get deleted off Youtube can often be found on Chinese sites. :)
Here's just a few others I pop by every now and then.

And off-topic, but a good list of some 2.0-type sites here:

you might want to also add the big guys like tencent and sina. they have both soft-launched video upload sites, and i don't think there is any reason they won't crush all these startups, just as sina blogs crushed bokkee and blogcn. the only barrier to entry to this business is the size of your audience. the technology is trivial, and while the infrastructure can get expensive, cash has been very cheap for most of these startups. but none of them can touch sina or tencent when it comes to audience size. several of these sites--wangyou, tudou, 6rooms to name three--are actively trying to raise money. i assume they want to capitalize on the youtube bubble, and they have probably blown through most of their cash. in spite of the hype around youtube, google had to advance them usd$15m before the deal close to pay the bills.
maybe there will be someone vc outside of china who thinks that one of those guys has a chance to become the youtube of china, but that won't happen. the big chinese companies won't buy, they will just build it themselves. expect baidu, netease and sohu to roll out video sharing sites soon, if they have not already.
Interesting article on Yoqoo and the massive traffic they got for posting the 2 Zhang Yu sex tapes.
"Relevant authorities" made them remove the tapes from the site early this week.

Hello
Interesting listing of video sharing sites. I'll be posting a link to your listings on my blog the Web Chef's e-Bytes early next week. I try to track some of the developments in the online video sharing space around the world, with a healthy dose of other Internet marketing trends.
Your readers might also find the recent story in Business Week on the status of Chinese Web 2.0 start-ups of interest.

Looks like Yoqoo.com is doing the classical chinese thing: rip off everything you can to build an audience. Seems popular as it has huge content of humorous shorts ripped from US and european (and even japanese) TV series.
Good on baby and situational videos.
Anyone willing to provide info on how to download video files from Yoqoo or 6rooms and other chinese video sites
www.bocoo.com will release version 2 on March 24,it will promote very greatly in function and hardware.
Are there any Videoegg type hosts in China that will integrate into your website?
