What am I reading this week?
I was interested in Mashable’s poll where they asked readers to choose between YouTube and Hulu. The winner, by a wide margin, is YouTube. Sure, it’s just a reader poll, and nothing very scientific, but it was a good look at what readers think.
At Videonet, I read a post that talked about cloud-based pay TV services like TV Everywhere. Sure, the post is really just promoting a webcast from research firm Parks Associates, but I think it’s true that the geographic boundaries are really closing down. No longer does AT&T, for example, have to limit themselves to just their own regional footprint in the U.S. With its IPTV service, AT&T can deliver U-verse to anyone in the world, no matter where they live. This is already occurring with game consoles like the Xbox 360 supporting VOD and even live sporting events through ESPN.
This story, about Hulu, describes how the company is repackaging TV. It describes the finances behind Hulu and how it may even make a profit in 2010. I also read a story about how Hulu will go international, even though it failed to begin a UK version recently. Oh and one more Hulu story: this one From MediaPost describes how Hulu is getting twice as many ads as YouTube.
