Hulu Beta…

I finally got around to testing out Hulu’s private beta, which is big media’s race horse against YouTube. I like it. It’s high quality video with good content from most of the major TV networks and two major movie studios….

[...] Hulu Discusses Beta Progress, Sets March Launch Date – Despite being an invite-only phenomenon, the joint online video venture from News Corporation and NBC Universal has “several hundred thousand users,” according to CTO Eric Feng. These users have submitted “tens of thousands” of feedback messages, which helped developers tweak the user interface (Hendrickson says the search engine is much better, for example). Nearly 85 percent of the site’s content is viewed at least once per day. [...]

Hulu is pretty nice. I hate when they skip episodes in a show though. Extremely frustrating.

I’ve been enjoying Hulu. It’s pretty cool. I wish it had more content and didn’t restrict seasons to only a few shows.

You gotta love the limited commercial interruptions brought to you by company X. And freaking corporate bug in the corner. If this is the wave of the future, I’m quite happy to stick to eztv.

Ilya, you should advertise in Finland with the slogan:

“hullu insinoori haussa” which means “crazy engineer wanted”

just a thought.

hey Ilya – there’s that thing called Crunchboard jobs, you know?

I love the “we’re looking for really talented engineers” line. has anyone actually ever read somewhere “we’re looking for dumb engineers”?

@2 and @19

I’m a software engineer working at Hulu. While our site is built using Ruby on Rails, parts of our back-end are built on other platforms. Naturally our player is in Flash, and we have a code base built on top of .NET as well. We’re looking for really talented engineers for each of the tech stacks that we’re using, and no matter the technology we’re always looking for people who’re great at CS fundamentals. Hope this helps!

I hated on Hulu, but I have to admit I want in now.

re: RoR and C#, Ruby is OOP so it’s good to be able to rock real live codez when you gotta dig in the guts. Also there’s a glut of people who went straight from .net to RoR so maybe Hulu just wants to make sure the kids gots chops…? Just my .02.

Geof and Alaska – you’re welcome.

My point however was missed in the mud for the sake of a comeback that even my 5 years old nephew could improve. Try focusing on the last line of my comment. Just remember Hulu is what MA used to call Clown Company if I remember correctly.

Anyway, say what you wish. I take bitTorrent any day over NBC and friends.

Thanks to TechCrunch, I have access to Hulu. When I first heard about it I was not expecting much, but it’s fantastic. It’s the way all networks should handle their online content.

I do most of my watching online, so taking the video with me isn’t a big deal.

What I like best is the one day delay in the shows that appeared the previous night. I used to download them through Bittorrent, but now I just jump on Hulu.

I also like the little touches like the option to turn down the lights and how it remembers where I was in an episode when I come back.

I don’t like the limited content and I really don’t like the edited versions of movies.

The ads aren’t so bad. I actually pay attention if they are different between the breaks. Cisco runs the same damn commercial over and over again. The cruise line has the best commercials.

Between Hulu and Netflix streaming I don’t watch much TV anymore.
