I have never been a huge fan of Hulu. I simply have never felt that it adds anything to my media experience online. If I want to watch a current network show I can just go to the specific website I need, and if I want to watch past seasons of a show only a few episodes are available. With websites like sidereel, surfthechannel and fastpasstv I have the ability to watch all the Television I want without commercials.
With that said recently I have watched two Episodes of Friday Night Lights on Hulu because I find that living with four guys and having slow internet streaming illegal television is just not as easy. So Hulu is nice if you are lucky enough to find the episode you need, but I think that the Hulu experiment is failing. Not to mention Hulu does not work internationally so is certainly limits usability.
On the other hand I think youtube is a great idea. I am not a avid user because I do not have a user name and a have never contributed material to the site I think the concept is great. Music playlists at parties have been changed because of it and simply just sharing of life and culture that is part of the experience. When I was abroad I was shown so many new and funny things on youtube because everyone has their own youtube video that they find hilarious. While, I may not use it that much I understand the role of youtube somthing that I usually cannot say about Hulu
