When respected site PC World
released in May the list of
the Best Tech of 2008, the
first position was occupied,
to my honest surprise, by free
ad-based video hosting site
Hulu.com. This is the
much-anticipated video joint
venture from Rupert Murdoch's
News Corp. and General
Electric's NBC Universal,
providing to its users a mix
of shared (YouTube-style)
video and premium content like
shows from Fox and NBC.

Hulu brings together a large
selection of videos from more
than 90 content providers,
including FOX, NBC Universal,
MGM, Sony Pictures Television,
Warner Bros. and more. Users
can choose from more than 850
current primetime TV hits such
as The Simpsons, The Daily
Show with Jon Stewart and The
Office the morning after they
air, classics like Buffy the
Vampire Slayer, The A Team,
Airwolf and Married...with
Children, movies like Men in
Black, Ghostbusters, and The
Karate Kid, and clips from
Saturday Night Live, Friends
and other popular TV shows and
movies.
R-rated and TV-MA content is
available unedited but only
for registered users.

For those, who are curious
what “Hulu” means
The name Hulu comes from a
Mandarin Chinese
proverb(宝葫芦),
in which it means holder of
precious things, which is
probably true at some extent.
