Armageddon For Traditional Television?

This is definitely off topic compared to what I typically blog about, but I can’t help sharing way-cool stuff.

I’m not a heavy frequenter of the stupid box (Television) but do enjoy the vice from time to time and Hulu is the closest product I’ve seen to taking network and cable TV from the ‘airwaves’ on to the Internet. Hulu broadcasts network in Hi-Def and offers the some of the most popular shows from major networks like NBC and FOX as well as a cornucopia of cable channells.

From their About page:

Hulu’s ambitious and never-ending mission is to help you find and enjoy the world’s premium content when, where and how you want it. We hope to provide you with the web’s most comprehensive selection of premium programming across all genres and formats – television shows, feature films, clips, and more. Additionally, we want to give you more choices of when and where you can enjoy your favorite programming, while creating innovative experiences that let you watch and participate in online video in new and exciting ways.

New shows typically appear right after their initial showing…I’m junking my ridiculous cable subscription.

With all the buzz about TV moving online, Hulu is proselytizing the conversion louder than anything else I’ve seen.

~10% comes from Canada (understandable), Romania (??) is next with a strong 7%, followed by my Mexican neighbors at ~4%. ~12% from Western Europe, 8% from Malaysia, and ~2% from the most abstract places on the globe considering where I am and what I write about.

To do: Google- international real estate and mortgage markets…
