Hulu needs more capital, DIS is the answer. 33% monthly growth only means 33% more money required to continue operations. They are churning millions daily and with no profit in sight. Why do think they asked George to resign?

[...] Report: Disney Plays the Field, Talking with YouTube Disney is finalizing talks to put clips from its properties like ESPN and ABC on YouTube, according to paidContent.

@Bryan:

To John's point, it is very important to understand the different technologies powering each site. Move Networks is a technology company, they do not dictate the user experience.

Adobe is also a technology company and Hulu (for better or for worse) uses their technology for streaming content and defining a user experience.

I will tell you this - ABCs content (especially Lost) looks and performs substantially better than HD on Hulu (which as of late, has been reduced to only 6 assets).

@Bryan, just want to clarify your comment about the Move player: Yes, ABC uses the Move Player. But the interface for navigating and watching content is all ABC. Fox also uses the Move player and you'll notice that it is inline; same with CW and FX. In fact, the Move player can be limited to just the play-out stage, with all the player controls (play, pause, etc) being created in Flash or Silverlight.

If hulu switched to Move, you wouldn't even know it unless you didn't have the player and got the prompt to install it.

Now if you're defining "easy to use" as "not having to install another plugin," then alright. I can agree to that :)

This would be fantastic. The in-page Hulu player is so much easier to use than the Move player ABC uses for full episodes. Sorry, forgot to add great post! Can't wait to see your next post!
