Swedish Video Site Trouncing YouTube

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the for-various-definitions-of-trounce dept.

paulraps writes "Why should a video that's funny in Shanghai be funny in Stockholm? That's the explanation for why Bubblare.se, a Swedish competitor to YouTube, is getting around 30 times as many viewers for its Scandinavian video clips as the American market leader. 'Local beats global,' in this market, says managing director Oskar Kalmaru." Luckily for YouTube, the local YouTube-like site around here is YouTube itself.

  1. I've never heard of this site by gkhan1 · · Score: 4, Informative

    I'm Swedish (I'm even called Oskar!) and I've never even heard of this site. YouTube however, I've visited many, many times. Many of my friends use it, and I've never heard any of them ever mention Bubblare.se. Don't put too much stock in this article, is what I'm saying.
