China on Web 2.0?

January 12th, 2007

Youngsters around the world are flocking to own homegrown version of MySpace and YouTube. Especially on China, this has more a dozen of Chinese YouTube and MySpace wannabes now on the Internet. With a 130 million Internet users (a 30% increase in year 2006) in the country, the web traffics generation by the wannabe’s sites is somehow quite impressive.

A YouTube wannabe!
Today, there is homegrown site in China, YoQoo(优酷), which is pronounced as “yo ku” and means “good” and “cool” in Chinese, had a little chance to capitalize on the publicity. Their current traffic rank shown on the Alexa is 845, which has an average daily 90 millions to 100 millions page views daily.

But, it got a little warning from the Chinese government’s net cops. The founder of YoQoo, Victor Koo mentioned recently, “Relevant authorities indicated that this has gotten so much public media attention that it would be helpful for us to remove the video”. Koo quickly complied about the content that, “there was nothing pornographic”.

The site owner understand that once you get the right contents (video), then you will get lots of traffics, but probably you could get in trouble for showing it! We saw many lawsuits against YouTube due to showing copyrighted content to the world.

Will China Web 2.0 Work?
Most of Chinese Internet user between age range of 13 – below 30 years old. There is an argument that Internet companies in China is not making money due to most of the Internet users go online in a cyber café, and most of the Chinese surfer are not wealthy or even a middle class demographic.
