Hulu rolls out new social tools

Hulu sharing
Online video site Hulu has allowed users to embed videos on other pages pretty much since day one. In fact, a cottage industry has popped up around embedded Hulu videos, although now that the site is out of private beta, there's not much use for sites like TV Paradise and OPENHulu to exist. But now Hulu is getting even more sharing-friendly with the addition of a series of social bookmarking tools.

When you click on a Hulu video, you should notice a new "Share" button on the left side of the video player. Click it and you should see links to MySpace, Facebook, Digg, Windows live, del.icio.us, reddit, StumbleUpon, and Google Bookmarks. Some of these buttons will let you submit a site for review, while others will let you embed a video. For example, the Digg button lets you submit the video to Digg for voting purposes, while the Facebook button lets you add a video to your profile that visitors can view on your Facebook page.

Hulu has also changed its RSS feeds so that you can now receive videos as enclosures, allowing you to watch them from within your RSS reader.

You bounce around picking up gems and talking to the denizens of 'Level Upland'. Eventually you feel tired and head back to ...
