The number three video sharing site in China has been offline for a week. What's going on? No one outside of the company or the government seems to know. Kaiser Kuo has been trying to find out. From his blog at Ogilvy:

This looks to be fairly grim, and Tudou’s episode now looks like a very minor slap on the wrist compared to this. SARFT has already begun issuing video licenses, but conspicuously absent in the first batch are the leading sites; 6rooms and user-generated ad driven vid site Ku6, along with Sequoia-backed P2P site UUSee.com, are among the first recipients.

Also see Kaiser's post from June 4th on the same topic, and Tangos Chan's report.


Hello? Anybody home?
