@Bernie Of course I am biased as a co-founder, but I think Tudou is better suited for a company to work with. For one thing, we have professional teams that work with finding solutions for clients instead of just putting banners on a site. Just look at the type and quality of ads on Tudou compared to the competition. Generally, Tudou tries to be innovative in running its business (not only on the sales side), and that sets us apart from many of our competitors.

Hi, Tudou vs Youku, in your opinion, which one is better suited for a corporation to engage in?

Thanks.

Marc,

This is great news. One of the things I hate most about the Internet industry is that most of the best companies and smartest people have a horror of making original content and put all their resources into the platform.

It’s good to see a new media company acting more like an old media company.

Best of luck with this initiative.

Tudou’s vision has been building a place where people can create & share in video format. While web-based open sharing sites inevitably confronts with commercial copyright challenges (texts, pics, music, videos), Tudou’s intention to bring forth Internet creative energy persists. Guess we’d all agree there is a lot more from the young talents, for the young audiences that you would not see (or not enough) on conventional media here.

Seems like it’s also a move to expand its resources away from lawsuit-inviting IPR infringing content, the likes of which Tudou (and Youku, and 56.com, and…) built their businesses on, now that Chinese courts are increasingly willing to award damagers to broadcast rights holders. I’ll admit to mixed feelings… I certainly think that not stealing the rest of the world’s content and putting up ads next to it is a really good thing, but at the same time, I’ll miss my US TV show hookup.
