techcrunch.com — No one can say they didn't see this one coming: Hulu will finally open up to the public this week, on Wednesday to be precise and yes, it's official. The company's been in private beta for 4.5 months. If you haven't managed to snag one of the many invitations floating around, Hulu's a remarkable online video service despite its shortcoming.

Isn't it great! It looks like a very attractive new video site, but of course there's one minor difficulty for anyone not within the borders of the United States. It is only for people in the United States! As soon as I try and view a video it tells me it's not available to anyone in my part of the world. In addition when I tried to register it told me I had to fill in a valid US Postal code.

Notice how ads were 15 second interruptions, now 30 seconds. No reason why they can't be 1 or 2 minutes a year from now. That's their plan I'm sure.

That's because the US restricts networks within your country from re-broadcasting them. Same thing happends in every other country. But with hulu.com, that's a different story. This is all becuase the television networks want to find a way to advertise to every country, rather than showing useless American Advertisements to a viewer in Europe...

A couple commercials is better than 10 though.. But I still agree...

youtube sucks though. Im sick of watching some guy blow his teeth out with a firecracker. It was fun, but the s**tty quality videos are terrible. And besides, television shows are actually coming back on now...Although, most of them still suck ass..

I think Hulu is a great service when I have my computer plugged into my TV. No loading problems and not only are the commercials manageable, but sometimes I caught myself wishing they were longer so I could get up and get another soda/take a piss. Its not HighDef by any stretch of the imagination, but you will forget you're watching a streaming video and not actual TV.<a class="user" href="http://ladies.paramegsoft.com/">http://ladies.paramegsoft.com/</a><a class="user" href="http://game.paramegsoft.com/">http://game.paramegsoft.com/</a><a class="user" href="http://girls.paramegsoft.com/">http://girls.paramegsoft.com/</a><a class="user" href="http://www.paramegsoft.com/">http://www.paramegsoft.com/</a>
