Hulu – Lazy Sunday

Got a beta invite to Hulu.com today, the new video sharing site backed by the actual media conglomerates…NBC, FOX, ABC. More thorough review as I play with it.

Surprisingly, there’s an embed function. This post is just to test it, see how long it lasts, and if eventually they time-phase these out.

I am waiting for my hulu invite. The quality of the embed seems really cool. If there is educational shows on there it may be a great thing embed for instruction stuff. Looking forward to the full review.

Man it’s been a while since I’ve watched that. Did you see the Natalie Portman rap a week or two after? It was hilarious.
