Hulu launching, traffic jumping
Hulu is a new, long anticipated and speculated, service that have just opened to the public after months of private Beta. The site does not just offer another video streaming service, but it separates it self by offering full-length original legal content for streaming on the web. You get to watch many of your favorite TV series and movies there, without paying a single dime, and in pretty good quality too. Only thing is, you have to stream it and can’t download, which is pretty much OK with me as long as they are offering it for FREE. You do not get ofcourse latest movies, but some good movies such as Master & Commander, Ice Age, and more. Stuff that we wait for our subscription cable channels to show are not available online. The collection is not large yet, but hopefully with time, and if people respect streaming and don’t attempt to download it, the collection will get bigger and bigger. Another thing is, and here is the bad side of it, it’s currently limited to US only, but they seem to be planning on worldwide release later on as they say:
” For now, Hulu is a U.S. service only. That said, our intention is to make Hulu’s growing content lineup available worldwide”
So how is the trend and reaction to it inside the US only? Rank 5,497 worldwide, 575 inside the US, and the chart speaks for it self.

i tried to watch 5 different tv shows… “we apologize, this movie is not availoable in your country/region…” doesn’t seem to work!?
K.TheKuwaiti: I know many people criticized it strongly, and then they praised it recently. Can you give it another shot?
Kroms: It got press release and started private Beta I guess
bbq8: Well as I mentioned, its currently only inside the US. Their message should be more clear and state that all movies are only for inside US, not “this movie…” But its coming worldwide after hopefully.
I had a beta account .. nothing worked. It looked pretty tho.
