YouTube's popularity causes namesake a headache
YouTube’s enormous popularity has created a big headache for another “utube” - a US company that sells used machines that make tubes.
Universal Tube & Rollform Equipment Corp.’s website, called utube.com, has been inaccessible for most of the week, overwhelmed by millions of people looking for the popular online video site.
The confusion began a couple of months ago, said Ralph Girkins, Universal Tube’s president. The company, with just 17 employees, got 68 million hits on its site in August, making it one of the most popular manufacturing websites.
