Why Hulu is The Future


Imagine being able to watch all of your favorite TV shows at the click of a mouse. Did you miss last nights episode of The Office. What ever shall you do? Ask your friends if they Tivo'ed it? or download it off of iTunes right? Paying for that episode, and watch them on your Apple TV, iPod, and computer? At first I too would have said the same, however I can do you one better. Its called Hulu. You can enjoy watching all of your favorite shows for free in excellent stream quality. Did I already mention that its free? Oh yeah, and its FREE. Hulu embraces the same idea of that of YouTube, however with improved video quality and none of the legal issues of protected content. The downside to this experience is there are in fact ads you must endure. However I would venture to say that they are not as bothersome as you may think. The main issue here is being able to watch the shows you want, when you want at your convenience. You can create playlist of the shows you would like to watch and in the order you like. Its like creating a TV station made especially for you. Hulu has also added many full length movies for its users to enjoy. We all owe Google a big hug to thank them for proving the AD based model does indeed work!
