Disney joins Hulu

With the addition of ABC, three of the four major US television networks are now partners in Hulu. This leaves CBS and its TV.com venture all by its lonesome. As for YouTube, which is trying to get into the commercial content game, let's just say this move won't help the already anemic offering.
Despite the boxee nastiness (which has been mitigated, for now), Hulu continues to take off and is positioning itself as the defacto destination for online television viewing, provided of course, you live in the US. Having one robust platform is not only easier for viewers to navigate, it is easier to sell to advertisers.
The financial terms of the agreement weren't released, though I expect those details to emerge.

With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.

That's great, I guess. Hulu works for my wife and I ever since the switch to "Digital TV" has prevented us from watching television over the air (the digital signal isn't nearly as strong as the analog was, and now TV is only intermittent).
Glad to see more content available on Hulu.
The only problem with the website (which has a MUCH better interface than YouTube) is that videos don't "load," they stream (unlike YouTube). So there's no chance that you can get ahead of the stream.
For instance, with YouTube, once the video loads, it's there, and your bandwidth is cleared up. You can watch videos over and over, even if your internet connection is severed. But with Hulu, a little hiccup in the internet causes a hiccup in the viewing of the video.
Still pretty good though.

Now if only Disney would allow content on Zune Marketplace. I think it's ridiculous how by now, they still don't have content for Zune Marketplace, though they do for iTunes Store and Xbox Live Marketplace. Come on ABC!
