What is Hulu?
Hulu is an online video on demand service that is also expected to offer video sharing. The service is a joint venture of NBC Universal. The name “Hulu” was chosen in late August, when the website went live. The service offers full-length episodes of NBC and FOX television programs, including shows from the Bravo, Fuel TV, FX, Sci Fi, Style, Sundance, and Oxygen channels. Hulu also offers selected movies. The website is currently in limited beta testing. During this test, thirty second advertisements are presented intermittently, usually in the place a normal three minute ad break would be placed.

Can anyone use Hulu “anywhere, anytime”?
Not really! Hulu is service with a slogan “anywhere, anytime” (entertainment) but actually it is a service currently being offered only to the US residents so it is not the best choice for online Television internationally.

OpenHulu! now what in the world is that?
OpenHulu is a mirror site of Hulu created by a user taking advantage of the external embed function of Hulu videos. It is not affiliated with Hulu in any way but offers a good categorized form of shows and Television series.

I want a Hulu Invitation?
If you are lucky enough to read this post in time then you will surely get your hand on the Private beta of Hulu. Otherwise you can simply go to Hulu.com and register yourself for a private beta invitation that will be mailed to you after sometime by the Hulu team. Thanks to these bunch of Web 2.0 Gods that we still have a source to grab these invitations.

How can I access Hulu outside the US?
Get a proxy server located in the US and rest you know what to do ;)

Thanks to Haris for bringing this to spotlight.
