NaqaTube

The Saudi's response to YouTube's indiscretionsNaqaTube. The website is essentially a YouTube filter as the videos are all hosted ON YouTube.

Saudi Jeans questions the viability of business models that focus on such niches, given the recent Yahoo! acquisition of Maktoob. The answer is: Absolutely.

There is beyond any doubt a large audience who are very interested in religious offerings. I think it is perhaps one of the most untapped markets, given how profit and religion mixing puts one in a gray area. Let's face it, religion sells.

The problem that you have here is not the audience only, it is community participation. My first reaction was, there is noway you can get enough user-generated content to continue to remain relevant. However, as I spent more time on the site and watched a few clips, I realized that not only is there a wide array of topics and subjects that can be covered, but the fact that they are pulling content off of YouTube gives them access to a massive repository.

I say, go for it! Give us more content, religious or not.
