Much like Steven Ballmer's promise to "kill Google", the collaborative (NBC and Newscorp) new video streaming site Hulu was launched this week.
Launched with shackles and blindfold attached. As YouTube is a generations form of self expression free from (some) censorship the highly controlled and stylized content of Hulu was outdated before it had even been launched.
Access was granted to a few thousand "industry insiders", none of whom included the few thousand journalists called to a special news conference. Also excluded from the lucky ones, are anyone outside of the US.
What a future we see. If you live in America and are affiliated with NBC or Newscorp with a propensity to write good reviews then you can watch old TV shows on the Internet!
Just goes to show, money isn't everything. In fact, when it comes to the Internet, and grabbing those previous advertising dollars. Money doesn't mean anything.
