Hulu, launched March 12th, is an on-demand website offering a plethora of full length TV shows and movies with reasonable quality and speedy. They had begun closed beta testing invited by invitation in October of 2007. Because it is a free service, they do insert commercials. The commercials are usually 10 seconds in length and are bearable compared to what we normally watch on TV. From a glance, it looks like a website with plenty of potential and an eye-catching front page. It does have a reasonable show database, but not a lot of things interested me in particular. For the movies database, it had even less that caught my eye. But since this is a free service, I can deal with the limited database, which hopefully will expand within the next few months. This is just another option for watching TV and movies, along with buying or building your own DVR, catching shows by the broadcaster’s website, or just plain Bittorrent.
