Other Hulu-related notes;

The other day in an offtopic comment, I recommended “Making News: Savannah Style”.

I also feel that the sudden appearance of a “hi-res” option (button) on the Hulu interface might be worth mentioning. As could be the fact that though we keep hearing that ad inventory has been doing well (and it may have something to do with rerun season), but I’m a little surprised that in light of these stories, there’s suddenly a lot of commercials from the Ad Council.

Don’t get me wrong; I think they provide a valuable service and it’s the only place that I’ve seen some of these messages, but if the ad inventory has been selling well, why have there been a lot of freebies lately?

I think part of getting the word out about Hulu may be consistency.

I’ve been watching almost all of my television, via the computer since the writer’s strike (except for local news); It has been the DVR-like quality which has primarily made it my preferred medium, but it also has something to do with time zones and the earliness of regular primtetime television.

It may be different now, but the last time that I watched anything on the NBC network, I was struck that they still were referring people to NBC.com. It may have something to do with revenue-sharing, but still with the excellent interface and the breadth of Hulu’s offerings, I’m a little surprised that it doesn’t get an on-air mention.

Also, though it’s a differnt network, but I’ve noticed that the end credits on both “The Daily Show” and Colbert point people toward iTunes and Xbox, but they don’t list Hulu.

I love it too, and I’m always surprised when I mention it to co-workers and they tell me they’ve never heard of it…, and I work at a TV station!
