Watch the Chinese Earthquake News on Tudou.com

Among all the video sites, YouTube is by far the number one in the US and many other countries around the world. But in China, Tudou is the king of online video.

In the past few days, the site is almost dedicated to earthquake mourning. Thousands of related videos flooded in – professional and amateur. As I am writing this, the home page of the Tudou is divided into three sections: the top half has all the news video (mostly copies from TV news reports); the bottom left shows the videos shot by members in the affected areas; the bottom right lists video from other areas and people who want to show their support. A link to denote is on every page, every video.

I was planning to talk about Todou vs YouTube. But my tears do not allow me. We will continue some other time.
