Newcomer Hulu Leverages Social Networks, May Be “the one”

15 03 2009

According to PC World’s, Brennon Slattery Hulu rockets to the second largest streaming video provider.   According to February Neislen data Hulu enjoys 9.4 million unique visitors.   Imagine Hulu aggregating the MySpace, FaceBook, and You Tube audiences all logged in and watching the latest Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, or Jennifer Aniston block buster.   The big idea here is that personalization, interactive advertising, and monetizing the social networks is now a reality.  To all those interactive agencies wondering how they are going to weather the current macro economy slump, I encourage them to get on the first flight to Austin, Texas  for SXSW and start preparing for the Interactive  Earthquake that will be felt around the world.  You might also want to consider some stock in Adobe.   🙂
