Video Comments The Japanese Way (Nico Nico Douga)

TechCrunch reports on the huge success of a user-generated video portal from Japan called Nico Nico Douga.

"... Nico Nico’s most distinctive feature - and the main reason why users spend twice as much time on Nico Nico as they do on Youtube - is that members communicate via short texts inserted on top of the video feeds. Entries are time-synched and flow over the frame from right to left. Using different colors, other users can add comments later in the same way. Some videos are virtually covered with thousands of lines of text, which can be filtered or turned off."
