Hulu fourth biggest TV streaming site in February
Hulu has become in a short year the 4th biggest streaming video site in February!
Of course it could be to do with the major advertising they carried out at the Super Bowl starring Alec Baldwin. This may have helped the spurt in traffic for February but they also carry the best and highest quality content online. Having Fox and NBC as well as 120 other TV show and movie providers does help to keep user interest high.
The websites user base grew by 55% to 7.8 million in February with 332.5 million streams, this according to comScore. YouTube is still the daddy with 5.3 billion streams compared to number 2 Fox Interactive (MySpace) with 462.6 million streams and number 3 Yahoo, with 353.5 streams for that same period. Hulu has blown away Microsoft and Viacom to become 4th. Hulu first launched March 12, 2008, and in just a year has become the major onliine streaming site.
“Hulu’s success is its freedom to operate essentially as a stand-alone company, largely safe from the turf battles that plague most joint ventures,” said CEO Jason Kilar when we interviewed him for The Fast Company 50, where Hulu landed in our #3 spot for most innovative companies in the world. “Hulu is about the shows, not the networks. The shows are the brands that users care about,” he said
