Hulu.com - An Alternative to YouTube
NBC and FOX have just launched a test version of a new video streaming website that will compete with YouTube and other popular video sites. Hulu.com will play full length television shows as well as movies for free. The site is supported by online advertisers who wish to promote their product alongside prime-time television and popular movies.
YouTube is at a disadvantage because their current website hosts many unauthorized video clips. Viacom Inc. (who owns Comedy Central, VH1, MTV, and others) is currently suing YouTube for 700 million dollars due to copyright infringement.
Hulu.com will allow users to embed episodes or clips onto their own blogs, websites, or even to send them in emails to friends. The final version of Hulu is projected to be available within a few months.
