Hulu is not exactly new, but it is disruptive. Hulu organizes and offers video for viewing. With the introduction of Hulu desktop, it’s also an application as well as a web service. It’s similar to YouTube, but has more professional, commercial videos. It offers many regularly broadcast TV shows, movies, and the like. You can watch all the episodes of Dancing with The Stars, SuperNanny, The Office, and many other series. There are many recent as well as old movies. What gives Hulu an advantage over your television is that you can watch what you want when you want it. While you can do that with a DVR and a television, you still have to set it to record in advance of the air time. With Hulu, you can watch anything, anytime. One of the challenges has been finding a way to earn money so they can pay royalties for the material they make available, but this is done through commercials (far fewer than traditional television). | Hulu is not exactly new, but it is disruptive.
