Hulu Hoops

Major television and entertainment corporations just do not like YouTube. In response, up to this point, all these corporations have launched lawsuits against the Google owned company. That was until today with the beta launch of Hulu, dubbed the YouTube killer. In a recent blog post by Terrence Russell of the Wired Blog Network, although Hulu has only been released to a select few users, the web site does not have many YouTube killing qualities. Hulu offers premium content or full length movies or television shows from FOX and NBC such as Scrubs and The Simpsons, in which the advertisements are limited. However, Hulu does not allow users to upload the videos, and it seems as though older content will be the content focus rather than newer content. Hulu seems like a promising alternative to YouTube, but I always thought that the charm of YouTube was You. Any user could post his or her own videos on the web and express themselves. At least, that it is what I thought after learning about digital ethnography. Still, as a busy college student, Hulu gives me the opportunity to watch my favorite shows on NBC and FOX when I have the time. However, do I have the bandwidth?..........
