The YouTube of China aka Youku aka “if you’re from North America and have ever tried watching a video on Youku then you probably hate it because it is just soooo slow” went public this week (NYSE: YOKU)!

It’s hard to imagine life without such sites, but there was once a time! You just have to believe and dig deep in your brain for the memories. May this will help you out. It’s probably the first video with which I ever fell in love. [YouTube]
