I know in Romania for example, the website www.tilulilu.ro offers lots more features than youtube itself, trust me: not only videos can be uploaded, but images, audio files, etc. great tool.

As someone in the United States I like to see what the most popular videos are in Japan without switching my preferences to Japanese. In fact one has to wonder if the next step would be to block someone in the United States from viewing content from another nation or vise versa. In fact if you look at Flickr censorship for German users you have to wonder if YouTube will follow their lead.

Now they'll need to look for other differentiating factors, that may or may not be enough for their survival. We'll see if YouTube will pull it out on its own, or it has to go the eBay way.
