We have written about how much we like Hulu (the News Corp./NBC web video site) several times in the past. Well, if you're watching TV on the web and you haven't yet checked it out, you will get the chance as the site is about to come out of private beta. In other words, you'll no longer have to register to use the site.
Part of the reason The Baroness and I enjoy Hulu so much (though we only use it on occasion) is for its incredible user-friendliness. Well, Fortune Magazine has an article detailing just how fanatical the Hulu programmers were in putting together the site. Hulu did it right in taking its time and launching the site only once things worked really well. Unfortunately, a lot of this piece is the big media folks saying, "I told you so." I guess designing a great site and being humble was a bit too much to ask.
