Hulu, meet OpenHulu
Don Day February 11th, 2008
When NBCU & Fox announced Hulu would allow embedded players… I thought “gee, I should start a site with all the videos embedded and surround it with Google ads.” And I didn’t follow through. Shocker. But anyway — someone had the same (admittedly obvious) idea - and launched OpenHulu. All the same content, no sign-in needed.
Hulu reps told TVWeek that the open clone is basically cool with them.

Not really surprising as they’ll make most of their money on embedded ads.
The registration system will only help them identify to advertisers what the demographics they serve.

I think its pretty smart not to get upset, and uber smart for the person who started the site…

It is slow and cumbersome. I’d rather just use hulu…

Except that by downloading the Hotspot Shield, users outside the US at least have a chance to watch videos.
