Hulu: A Free Video Service!

The era of Hulu is here. Simply put, this IS the future of online video services.

Started a couple of months ago by networks like NBC and Fox and with the support of Sony and MGM, Hulu offers full length television shows (past and present) and soon feature films free with minimal commercial breaks. There is one sponsor per show and in an hour show there might be 4 breaks showing one commercial, which isn't bad at all.

The site uses the h.264 codec for optimum quality and if your computer is capable then you will be able to see true HD content as well, which is amazing. This is a very cool site and a great way to watch your favorite shows in great quality anytime, anywhere.
