Swedish Video Site Trouncing YouTube

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.

The amount of utter crap on Youtube

Given the amount of crap on Youtube I think he has a point!

From my many, many hours spent wasting time on youtube I would honestly declare that at least half the clips on Youtube must be of chubby American wanna-be-famous kids looking like idiots while they dance around infront of their webcam to pop songs.

Nice misleading headline

[Have Blue]

In other news, DVDs are kicking the crap out of YouTube*.

My Swedish is not very good, but here are some translations of some of the phrases to help you navigate:
Hem - Home
Logga In - Log in
Mest Sedda - Most viewed
Populära filmklipp - Popular film clips
Zappa Fram Klipp - Film Clips from (Frank) Zappa - he's big in Sweden
Pepsi Girl - Pepsi Girl
Titta Pa Filmklipp - Filmclip of Papa's tits
Ladda Up - Lather Up

It's hard to imagine

[DoorFrame]

Jeez, why aren't Swedish videos like this one [bubblare.se] more popular worldwide? I don't know, I just can't figure it out.

Predicatably...

The site is Slashdotted by American nerds hoping to see naked Swedes.

Say what you will about youtube, they do have rock solid servers.
