56.com: An Online Video Sharing Resource
Like YouTube, 56.com is a video and media sharing website. 56.com was founded in October 2005, and it allows users to upload, view and share video clips. 56.com is very popular in China, with over 30 million registered users. Youku is 56.com's primary competitor.
According to local sources, video-sharing site 56.com has completed its first round of venture financing and received approximately $10 million from Steamboat Ventures and SIG. it is believed that the company is using most of the proceeds to improve the site's hardware and enhance the user experience.
56.com is well known in the peer to peer sharing circle, mostly because of the website's ability to host videos and movies for streaming. 56.com uses Adobe Flash technology to publish its videos. The website allows unregistered viewers to view the videos; however, they are not allowed to upload any video to the database. So, if you really want to share a video with the world, you better become a registered user. As being a registered user, you can upload as many videos as you want using on-line and Windows-based upload tools.
The video playback technology of 56.com u is based on Adobe's Flash Player. Almost all of the video sharing websites go for Adobe's Flash technology, as with this technology, users are not required to download any web browser plugin or any software application. But that is not the case with other established video playback technologies such as Windows Media Player, QuickTime and RealPlayer, which requires users to download and install a web browser plugin in order to playback the videos.
For uploading videos, users don't have bother much about the format of the video. 56.com accepts a variety of formats such as WMV, AVI, MOV, MPEG and MP4. Although, 56.com rivals Tudou, I especially think Tudou is a much better video sharing website than this one. Maybe its because 56.com is just trying to make a place for itself. Hence, in the near future, who knows maybe 56.com might overtake every video sharing website that's on the cyberspace.

-Basically, it's saying that 56.com is trying to improve the "protections" of their video clips, and do more upgrades for their website. As a result they need a little more time and thanks for understanding. -2nd sentence- Users don't have to worry about their IDs or personal infos cuz they are still save on the web. -3rd sentence-thanks for supporting 56.com, we will try our best to make 56.com a better chinese web for all of our users.
