With the ever expanding internet businesses are being forced to find newer and more creative ways of getting their “information” out to people without being overlooked by everyone else. Napster shook the world of music resulting in a panic of a lot of similar businesses. FOX and NBC have combined forces to create their own television website. Hulu.com is the website engineered to support FOX and NBC desires to have any of their shows available on the website for any viewer. If The Office came on yesterday and you missed it, you can simply just go to Hulu.com and access the show. The shows will have shorter commercial requirements but do require you to watch the commercials and not fast forward through them. The website will even be able to access shows from other television broadcasters like ABC as long as it is obtainable legally. The representative from Hulu.com made it clear that anything on the website will be strictly legal to have. Hulu.com is a video website that is supported by advertising, however the advertising is cut back as compared to other websites you might visit. Hulu.com has had great reviews ever since the initial start up of the website. The creators of Hulu.com were half in California and half in Japan so when one crew worked, the other slept, focusing on user demands for the system. Some businesses are on board to join with Hulu.com, however some are still resistant.
This was a very interesting article revealing the future of the television industry. I think this is probably the best thing I have heard in some time about the internet because I have always been able to access some shows on the internet, but now I can do it legally and faster. Plus this gives me access to shows from years ago that I probably could never find on the internet resulting in more viewing for my pleasure. After reading this article and writing this blog, I am going to spend a lot of time exploring Hulu.com since it was set to debut this month.
