What Is Hulu?

Have you watched television online? Chances are that you’ve been to one of the most popular video streaming sites: Hulu.com. You’ll find a variety of past television episodes to watch.

It is sad however that people outside of the United States cannot get access to Hulu movies online. For those in the US however, getting access to Hulu movies is free and a great way to pass the time.

If you are one of those people who always miss their favorite shows on the tube, then going to hulu is a must. The website is a joint venture of ABC, Inc, Fox Entertainment Group and NBC Universal. It is funded by Providence Equity Partners. Its name is based on the Mandarin term “Hulu” which means “the keeper of precious things”. This is a relatively great term for a website that holds great videos from both television and the movies.

Whether it is Hulu glee you are after or maybe Hulu 30 Rock, then this site is the place to be. If you would like to watch a few movies during the weekend, you no longer need to rent a movie because you can use your Hulu desktop to your heart’s content.

The Hulu venture that powers Hulu TV went live in August 2007 but still had to undergo a series of testing. It went public in the USA on March 12 of 2008.

It was first advertised in NBC’s Super Bowl XLIII broadcast. The ad starred Alec Baldwin as an alien whose main life goal is to destroy the world as we know it. Other ads were released that year to introduce to the American public about the existence of Hulu free movies.

By April 30th of 2009, Disney joined the venture and by 2010 Hulu started making very good money. The Hulu site is ranked by Alexa.com as the 35th most popular site in America and ranks 201 in the world.

Today, the website is one of the most popular video streaming sites in the US since it not only carries shows from ABC, FOX and NBC but it also has samplings from other channels. This includes Bravo, Current TV, PBS, Fuel TV, USA Network, NFL Network, FX, Speed, Style, Syfy, E!, Sundance, Big Ten, Versus, G4, Oxygen and many more.

Apart from watching Hulu TV on your desktop or your laptop computer, you also have the choice of watching Hulu on TV. If you have PlayOn software and have consoles that work with that software, you will be able to watch Hulu right on your television set.

Those who are addicted to watching their favorite shows on Hulu found this new offering quite amazing because it is like enjoying television the traditional way and there is no need to use headphones or use the largest monitor in the house to watch their favorite shows.
