What's on...Hulu.com

If you haven't made it over to hulu.com, let me tell you a little about it. It is a site that is merging traditional TV viewing with social networking and other online digital media. It provides three different widgets to post your favorite TV episodes and/or movies (by certain networks) on your MySpace, FaceBook, Windows Live and other sites and blogs. You can share by e-mail too. It's definitely an ambitious move by it's creators who have been featured recently in Wired magazine. I've used the tool on Hulu.com to copy the scripts which will embedd the a widget and feed of one of my new favorite shows below. From my blog's edit page I switch to the Edit Html and paste the copied code in the place I want the widget to appear, Here....


Here is an example of the video quality as it moves from hulu.com to a blog site. As you can see a little section to the left got cutoff in this blog layout. Might be a better fit on FaceBook. If you decide to visit hulu.com you will find TV episodes and movies laid out by channels, most popular, recently added, collections, HD gallery and by Spotlight. If you want to find out more about the behind the scenes motivation of hulu.com gaze down to the bottom of their screen and check out the links, About and FAQ.
