Hulu Features Social Networking

Streaming video website Hulu has expanded its web offerings and decided to venture out in social networking. Hulu launched its new feature, Hulu Friends, yesterday aiming to attract more users.
 

The new service allows Hulu viewers to invite friends through Gmail, Hotmail, and Yahoo email accounts. Users can also add friends from other social networking sites like MySpace and Facebook. 

 

Hulu Friends enable existing members to share videos and send notes to other members. One feature that quite resembles that of Facebook is its ability to generate status updates from users; though this particular service is optional. 

 

Hulu is a website offering  commercial-supported streaming video of TV shows and movies from NBC and Fox, among others. Its videos are currently viewable by US residents. It displays videos in Flash format and high definition.
