This is episode 2 of our Asia Tech Tour video series. If there’s any Asian service or app that you’d like to see us explore, please send us your request.

Today Charlie [1] and I do a quick overview of Youku.com (NYSE:YOKU), which is the leading streaming video website in China, with about a 30 percent market share. We’ve written about them pretty extensively in the past, and you can read those articles here.
