Tudou(Chinese:土豆网) is a Chinese online video sharing website which is similar with You-tube where users could upload, view and share videos. Tudou is the biggest video sharing website in China. The word Tudou means "potato" in Chinese and the name comes from the idea of "couch potato." There are more than 7 millions registered users on Tudou and Tudou is founded by Gray Wang in 2005 at Shanghai, China.

There are more than 300 million videos on Tudou and more than 50,000 new videos are added to Tudou everyday. Tudou does not limit the length of the video like those in You-tube, so their total amount of minutes are about 15 billion minutes which is a lot more than those on You-tube - 3 billion minutes.

Tudou is my favorite Chinese online video sharing website because the design of the website looks very nice and users on Tudou upload a lot of videos. It is a very good website for watching dramas, better than You-tube, because that Tudou does not have the time limit of 10 minutes like as You-tube does, so it is more convenient than You-tube. There are other Chinese online video sharing website such as Youku and 56.com, but I like Tudou better, because I like the website design of Tudou better than those of other websites. I rarely watched television anymore after I found Tudou, because Tudou is so convenient comparing to television, one can watch whatever they wan any minute.
