Do You Hulu?
Posted: Mon Nov 05, 2007 7:17 pm
So the beta has officially launched, and I was wondering if anyone else out there has tried hulu yet. I was thinking this could be a place to discuss out likes and dislikes about the "YouTube killer".
If you haven't checked it out yet, visit www.hulu.com . I think in order to get in, it is by invitation only right now. Surely they'll still be taking requests, though, if you just give them your email.

I suppose I'll start with my thoughts on hulu.
I really like the concept. I like the idea of watching old series' full episodes, and new series' new and old full episodes in one place. I like the quality (though the playtime does lag a bit...hopefully they will fix that when they go public) and don't mind the 30 second commercial spots. I feel like that is a small price to pay for access to professional content for free! I like how you can embed these whole episodes or just clips on to your blog or even facebook page (or myspace).
The biggest downfall right now, is that they need a bigger catalog. Now I know they are just in beta, and the thing only launched a few weeks ago, but a few hundred episodes of stuff isn't going to cut it. We need more content!
