The name Hulu comes from two Mandarin Chinese words, húlú (葫芦 /葫蘆 ), "calabash; bottle gourd",

and hùlù (互录 /互錄 ), "interactive recording"

NameName

In Mandarin, Hulu has two interesting meanings, each highly relevant to our mission. The primary meaning interested us because it is used in an ancient Chinese proverb that describes the Hulu as the holder of precious things. It literally translates to "gourd," and in ancient times, the Hulu was hollowed out and used to hold precious things. The secondary meaning is "interactive recording." We saw both definitions as appropriate bookends and highly relevant to the mission of Hulu

FeaturesFeatures

Hulu distributes video on its own website and syndicates its hosting to other sites, and allows users to embed Hulu clips on their websites. In addition to NBC, ABC and Fox programs and movies, Hulu carries shows from networks such as Current TV, ION Television, USA Network, Bravo, Fuel TV, FX, NFL Network, Speed, Big Ten Network, Syfy, Style, Sundance, E!, G4, Versus, A&E, Oxygen and online comedy sources such as Onion News Network. Hulu retains between thirty and fifty percent of advertising revenue generated by the shows it distributes.

In November 2009, Hulu also began to establish partnerships with record labels to host music videos and concert performances on the site, including EMI in November 2009,and Warner Music Group in December 2009.

In early March 2010, Viacom announced that it was pulling two of the website's most popular shows, The Daily Show and The Colbert Report, off Hulu. The programs had been airing on Hulu since late 2008. A spokesman

for Vivendi noted that "in the current economic model, there is not that much in it for us to continue at this time. If they can get to the point where

the monetization model is better, then we may go back." In February 2011, both shows were made available for streaming on Hulu again.

Hulu on TVHulu on TV

Since Hulu's inception, consumers have been able to watch Hulu on their TVs by connecting a computer with a streaming capable video controller to the TV via HDMI or other connection. Additionally, the Hulu Plus service, fully launched in November 2010, allows first-party access to Hulu from a variety of Blu-ray players, Internet-connected televisions, iOS devices, gaming consoles, and set-top boxes.

In late June 2010, Hulu announced that a version of the service would be available to the iTunes App Store for the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch running iOS version 4 or higher. Viewing the content on Hulu, however, requires a subscription.

In November 2010, Orb Networks announced the Orb TV box, which streams Hulu on the TV for free when used in conjunction with a computer and a smartphone

Hulu Desktop (Windows, Hulu Desktop (Windows, Mac, and Linux)Mac, and Linux)

Hulu has released a beta version of Hulu Desktop, a standalone program for watching Hulu programming without a web browser. The program uses a 10-foot user interface and is designed to be compatible with existing computer remote controls. It requires a Flash player and runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. Hulu Desktop cannot currently play all content that the website can.

Ease of UseEase of Use

One of the biggest highlights of using Hulu is just how simple and effective the site design is. The creators of Hulu have made it supremely easy to find what you want and play it the way you like. The site has a very clean aesthetic, no background colors or images to mar the pristine simplicity.

Hulu uses simple screenshots to represent videos and groups them into columns. When you first visit the site, there is a large banner that scrolls through simple advertisements for new videos. There are updated lists of the most popular and the highest rated videos, so you can keep up with what other people are watching. When you’re looking for a specific show, you can search by name or you can also look at an alphabetical list of all the shows in Hulu’s library.

Another thing that makes Hulu so easy to use is the video player. It operates directly in your web browser using flash player technology. This is nice because many other Internet TV Services require you to use a proprietary video player that you must download and install. Being able to play videos in your own browser without fiddling with a new program is much easier and allows you to get started watching videos as soon as you get to the site.

Help & SupportHelp & Support

Hulu offers the standard methods of support if you have trouble with the video player. The most common way to solve problems is through the FAQs.

It covers most of the problems you would run into, which aren’t many because Hulu is designed to be compatible with most computers. If you have more complicated problems, you can also contact Hulu through email.

Hulu also has a nice tutorial that helps you learn how to use all the features available and find the videos you want.
