Hulu, nearly #2

Written by Kelsey Brookes Thursday, 21 May 2009 22:00

In March this year, Hulu overtook Yahoo to become the third most-viewed video service online with over 50,000 more viewers than its defeated rival.

At over 380,000 videos viewed, it also only needs another 60,000 views per month before it overtakes Fox Interactive Media.

And that's where things get a little harder for our favourite little monetised video service. To overtake Google (which of course includes YouTube) they're going to need to increase their viewership by over 600% to even come close the behemoth's 5 million plus views per month.

Hulu is playing a slightly different game, of course. It has a solid monetisation strategy and a focus on long-form videos, a perfect platform for ad distribution. YouTube has had more difficulty producing revenue from their service, despite the million or so videos of kittens doing incredibly cute things.

Not one but TWO 8K projectors

Hot on the heels of JVC's announcement of an 8K projector and matching 4K camera, E&S have "Me Too'd" their way into this fairly unnecessary field with their 8K Laser Projector.

E&S, however have also added that their projector can do 3D. Take that, JVC.

Advertisers, listen up

Echoing my own thoughts on the matter, Joel Johnson over at BoingBoing makes a great point about why advertisers should embrace Hulu.

Advertisers, remember this about Hulu viewers
