SubscribeYoqoo: Yet Another Video Sharing Site
YoQoo is yet another online video sharing site, or yet another Chinese Youtube.
It has almost all the features that Youtube has, such upload, tag and share videos, create and join groups to make contacts with other users, browser and subscribe video channels, use html snippets to embed videos on blogs or websites. One of its special features is that it allow any user to set a topic for video contest, then he and other users can upload videos consistent with that topic for users rating to win the contest.
Inspired by the popularity of Youtube, numerous startups want to grasp the opportunities in online video market. This time it is from Victor Koo, former COO of Sohu, it is the startup project after his resign from Sohu a year ago.
Though some of China’s video sharing site have managed to raise venture capital, it is not easy for them to build up the community for user generated content. And I think it would also be difficult for them to find a viable business model in Chinese internet market.
