Talk / Gadgets / Software, Online & Business / Can Hulu make a dent in iTunes and YouTube?

By Pocket-lint, Tue 11 Mar at 4:26pm      Link

News Corp and NBC's much talked about rival to iTunes and YouTube launches in the States tomorrow.

Hulu is expected to offer full length episodes of more than 250 TV series from current hits such as "The Simpsons" as well as older shows like "Buffy the Vampire Slayer."

The site will show both full episodes and clips from television shows - available free of charge - but advertising supported.

Sounds like something you'd visit?

If the clips are there people will follow. They've got a hell of a hill to climb though

Actually I use a Mac on the road but a PC in the office. I love HULU on the pc, ..... er to watch that is. The commericals are pretty limited and the quality is medium tv levels.

Would I buy something to own from HULU????

Are you out of your flipping mind??? NO, NEVER,

I use iTunes for my video, audio, and music vids cause it works. Period. But to watch some old favorite movies ---- for FREE---- sure I can live with HULU. Free is good. Buy from them is a never. :-)

I don't see how they can make this work if the business model is purely advertising. Once the big players such as Google have their share, there's precious little left to go around.
