Surely You’ve Heard of Hulu.com by Now, Right?
By now, you all have to have heard of Hulu.com… right?
I’ve been using it almost daily for a few months, and it’s basically changed my life. I used to sit at my desk and cry over my peanut and jelly sandwiches, but instead, I cry from joy, because I can watch hundreds of TV shows and movies right in my browser. It even works (mostly) on my 4-year-old mac.
Hulu is owned by Fox and NBC, so it is mostly their shows on there, but they do offer a lot of great stuff, like full episodes of The Simpsons, Family Guy, Daily Show, Colbert Report, Late Night with Conan O’Brien, and Arrested Development, which has the whole series available for free. Not everything has a ton of episodes, and they do have expiration dates, but there is definitely enough to keep you occupied. Hulu is an ad-supported site, but they only put 2 minutes of ads per show where normal networks stick on 8.
One of the cooler features is that you can embed full-length episodes right into your blog:
Enjoy the pilot episode of Arrested Development.
If you want to find out more, Wired has an interesting article about it, giving a detailed background about the company’s founding, a cool read.
