What's the hoopla over Hulu?

Jessie Atkin wrote an article on Digital Landing explaining the phenomenon of Hulu. If you don't have a DVR or just forgot to record an episode of your favorite show, there is another alternative. The websites hulu and Fancast allow you to legally view episodes of television programs for free over the internet.

If you hadn't heard of hulu.com before, odds are you've heard of it now thanks to the rather hysterical 2009 Super Bowl commercial staring Alec Baldwin. It's a good thing too, because hulu is playing, and will continue to play, a huge role in the future of television.

Hulu is simple, convenient, and completely functional for anyone with an internet connection. For those unfamiliar with the specifics of hulu here is a quick overview:

* Hulu.com is a legal video streaming site.
* It provides both a selection of TV and Movies, and all are free.
* Television episodes (for the most part) are posted the day after they air, most of the movies however are older.
* Their quality is superior to youtube and the site is completely legal.
