      <![CDATA[<p><img border="0" src="http://www.readwriteweb.com/images/hulu-logo.jpg" hspace="5" vspace="5" width="96" height="43" />The folks over at <a href="http://www.hulu.com/">Hulu</a> have made <a href="http://www.hulu.com/beta/readwriteweb">2500 invites</a> available for the closed beta of the Hulu service for ReadWriteWeb readers.</p>

<p>Hulu is a joint venture between News Corp. and NBC Universal that puts popular television content from those companies online.  It's ad supported (via pre and mid-roll ads) and the videos are quite high quality.  Popular shows include 24, The Simpsons, Family Guy, 30 Rock, The Office, House, and my favorite, Psych.</p>  ]]>
      <![CDATA[<p>Our network blog, <a href="http://www.last100.com/">last100</a>, has written often about Hulu.  Though <a href="http://www.last100.com/2007/10/26/hulu-set-to-debut-critics-see-nbc-news-corp-venture-as-failure/">pre-launch reports</a> were less than stellar, since launch, things have looked bright for the service.  Early reviews for the service were <a href="http://www.last100.com/2007/10/29/early-reactions-to-hulu-are-encouraging-if-not-cautious/">generally positive</a> (or at least not as negative as expected), often from the same bloggers who had panned the service prior to launch.</p>

<p>We called the launch "<a href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/hulu.php">umpressive</a>," but now it's your turn to decide for yourself.</p>

<p>Invites are on a first come basis and are available <a href="http://www.hulu.com/beta/readwriteweb">at this link</a>.</p>]]>

<p>In addition to your limited number of invites to the "closed" beta, Hulu also has a sign-up form on their home page, which got us right in.</p>

<p>Is RRW getting paid or getting played, here? Or is there more to your deal than is apparent to readers?</p>

<p>Hulu is worth checking out either way. The video quality for their HD option is impressive. The content, less impressive. </p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>La Curva, if you dont live in the US you're out of luck.<br />
Go catodicos.com instead. It launched today and it's a true people's network, not a site depending on what the big Co's decide to do.</p>

<p>Btw, RRW, you should check catodicos... <br />
