We all know about YouTube and how it’s a site where anyone can upload videos and anyone around the world can watch the videos other users have uploaded for free. The problem with youtube is that you can’t watch the latest episode of heroes or the family guy but with hulu.com you can.
Hulu is an online video service that offers hit TV shows, movies and clips on their site at www.Hulu.com/ . Founded in March 2007, Hulu is co-owned by NBC Universal, News Corp. and Providence Equity Partners. It is operated independently by a dedicated management team with offices in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago and Beijing.
Hulu says that their mission is to provide a free service that allows users to watch videos anywhere in the world. Unfortunately though as mentioned above Hulu can only be used in the United States but soon hopefully this will change.
Hulu brings together a large selection of videos from more than 130 content providers, including FOX, NBC Universal, MGM, Sony Pictures Television, Warner Bros. and more. Users can choose from more than 1000 current primetime TV hits such as The Simpsons, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and The Office the morning after they air, classics like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The A Team, Airwolf and Married...with Children, movies like Men in Black, Ghostbusters, and The Karate Kid, and clips from Saturday Night Live, Friends and other popular TV shows and movies.
Hulu videos are available on AOL, Comcast, MSN, MySpace, and Yahoo! in the U.S. as well as a growing network of personal blogs, fan sites, and other Web sites where users choose to embed the Hulu video player.
If you are in the US this site should be on your check list for the next time you looking for that episode you missed, because you will simply be able to go on and watch it straight from your pc!

Unfortunately I have never been able to watch hulu videos due to me being in South Africa but I have heard from a number of people about how effective it is if you have a good enough internet connection speeds.
