Youtube has become a dominant force in todays digital world. Its almost up there in the class with computers and cellphones...that what-would-my-life-be-without-these-things class. I was reading the news today and came across a potential challenger for youtube, and a potential savior for the networks. hulu was created by Fox and NBC as a way to avoid the a similar fate to that of the music industry. The idea is you can get full tv shows online, rather than the scattered clips on youtube. This service is not free, but its still I think people without tivo are going to cough up the money to watch the new episode of the office while writing in the blog or checking up on facebook; this multi-tasking is possible with its transparent interface.
hulu will be competitive with youtube because in addition to the pay-per-view service, it will also let users upload their own videos. So if you want to see and old episode of grey's, but not until you watch a chipmunk be really dramatic, this can be easily accomplished.
