Hulu
I finally got in on the Hulu beta. Hulu is the new site that will carry licensed video content from NBC, FOX, MGM and others. Miss an episode of your favorite show on NBC? You’l be able to watch it on Hulu. I’ve only watched a few video clips and one episode of Heroes so far but it looks nice. The advertising is not very intrusive. When you watch an episode you get a quick word from the sponsor at the start and then one 15 second video ad at the commercial breaks. The only issue I had was that when I was watching in full screen the ad would sometimes freeze. I’d have to go out of full screen mode and wait a few seconds for the video to pick up where it left off. Considering this is still in beta that’s not a big deal. Overall the user experience has been good so far. I’m going to play with it a little more over the next few weeks to see some of the other features. For now, enjoy this embedded episode of Heroes.
