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.

    Really! Don't miss it.

    It starts out seeming to be a discussion of goat husbandry, how to feed
    them, all that good stuff. But there's a kicker. And totally safe for
    work and kids of all ages. And best: no subtle sarcasm or fake bedroom singing.
    Much better than youtube.
