And The Madness Continues!

I think little Joe looks like he's gone off his meds! But as Maria said, the tweens will love it.

Thanks for this Nordette!

But I'm quite sure 10 million tweens love it and it will help them sell a bunch of CDs. :)

It's easy to solve this for future posts. Just click the words input format, right below the box where you enter text and select FULL HTML. That will allow the video to work. :-)

I Understand Why That Would Be An Issue

Megan Smith — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 16:12:08 -0500

It never occurred to me because I don't have any hearing issues, but you're right, Hulu should make an effort to provide captioning.

Maybe you should shoot them an email and see how they respond.

I've Hulu-ed but have one issue

Nordette — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 15:14:30 -0500

I've gone to Hulu to catch up on several shows. I think it's great and it lets you embed episodes sometimes, which I think is a cool idea for shows trying to build an audience.

However, due to a problem with our cable company having to change out the DVR box, my daughter lost the final episode of Battlestar Galactica and never got to see it. I've been checking around online and can't find a captioned version (she's hard of hearing). The SciFi (SyFy) Channel doesn't even provide captioning online as other networks have started doing for its online shows.

I told her I plan to buy the final season, but she said, "Everybody else got to see and knows what happened. I want to know now like everybody else!" O.K., I get her point.

It's true that YouTube rarely has captioning on anything, but since Hulu's making an name for itself by providing full episode video of network television shows, I think it needs to check into captioning quickly.

You'll Be A Good Person To Judge Their New Design

Megan Smith — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 18:43:04 -0500

Since you watch a lot of videos on YouTube, you'll be a good person to comment on their new design.

When they roll it out, come on back and let me know what you think.

Hulu Rocks!

Megan Smith — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 18:40:14 -0500

I agree with you about Hulu's short clips, but I will say, they use them to round out some of the gaps in their other programming. If they get some of ABC's primetime programming as well, they'll really be cooking with gas.

I spend countless hours

I spend countless hours watching Hulu and YouTube. Hulu is better for network shows. YouTube is better for catching up on nostalgia and bizarre vids.

I'm new to Hulu but LOVE it!

Alanna Kellogg — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 14:33:06 -0500

I turned off cable last summer, HATE network TV, especially with the crappy way a digital set box makes both sound and picture so iffy. Hulu, however -- it's just great -- and that's from someone who'd never so much as watched a DVD on her laptop until Hulu. I've tried Netflix On Demand too but once again, Hulu shines because of how you can start/move to any place in a program. I will say that Hulu's short clips are worthless, who cares?

YouTube Has Professional Content, But Good Luck Finding It

Megan Smith — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 09:55:42 -0500

Hi Virginia,

I like that YouTube has a lot of user generated content as well, but if they want to make Hulu-like ad money, they're going to have to make it easier for people to find what they want.

The Big Money article I linked to in my post illustrates YouTube's design problem and how they plan to fix it:

Currently, the site is organized into mystifying categories such as "videos," "channels," and "community," which do almost nothing to help viewers find Star Trek episodes or other fare that actually makes YouTube money. Now, the site will separate the professional content from the amateur clips. "Movies," "music," and "shows" will bring you to ad-supported entertainment of various stripes, while "videos" will steer the user to the old user-generated content that got YouTube started but has yet to make serious bank.

It'll be fascinating to see how it all plays out.

Hulu Is Supposed To Be Making An International Push Soon

Megan Smith — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 09:48:00 -0500

There have long been reports that Hulu is working on becoming international. This article is from late last year, while this more recent article talks about their hiring a new international senior VP.

Stay tuned.

To Hulu or not?

Jessy777 — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 08:44:50 -0500

I like YouTube more since they provide video content from an international audience.

Hulu is only for the US market...
