Hulu becomes number four video site in the US

I watch shows on hulu all the time, I only with that they would add more content. I love the way they have it set up to watch full length shows and even movies. It is awsome that the comercials only average 30 seconds on hulu, while on a regular tv it can be 4 min.

Hulu is friggen lame because it's Americans only, same with the American TV networks with online shows... More reasons to be a pirate.

I bet I know at least one reason why their growth jumped so much.
Naruto.....
Dattebayo quit doing subtitles for the Naruto series due to the fact that Viz Media started doing their own subtitles and releasing them on Hulu. With an average of 400,000 torrent downloads per episode, one episode a week on Dattebayo, if 25%(guessing here) of the people started watching it on Hulu instead of switching to the other fansub group, that's alot of new viewers.

where's dailymotion? are they owned by one of these companies?

I don't live in America so I tried watching material on hulu using HotSpot Shield. Sometimes it works well, sometimes it doesn't. Why can't they just cut the crap and offer free streaming for viewers abroad? Is there a reason why they can't serve viewers outside the US?

Probably due in part to advertising. They make revenue based on American hits because the advertisers are advertising American based products. Just my opinion.

Hulu is great, have been using it for a while now and I never been disappointed!

Most of the American companies in their ads probably operate in Canada anyway so I can't see why we shouldn't be allowed to watch their stuff. Hulu should consider getting advertisers from other countries so that they can offer their service outside the US.

They will probably climb to number two. I doubt they will surpass Google.

Great for the US of A. Absolutely f*cking useless for the rest of us in other countries.
