Your friends will then be sent a personal invitation to the Hulu.com site where they can find and enjoy hit television shows, movies, clips, and more.
We hope you'll spread the word about Hulu so we can continue to gather feedback to improve our service. We've certainly learned a lot from the tens of thousands of comments, suggestions, and emails you've sent us and we look forward to hearing more of what you and your friends think.

February 9th, 2008 at 08:31 PM I absolutely love Hulu and all the great improvements you have added. I haven't watched TV in over a year (why pay for 200+ channels with nothing on them...) and was watching my favorite shows online on the network sites. But their sites are so overloaded with ads/useless content/extra flash scripts which slowed the video stream to a crawl (and ironically, it was worse during their commercials). I love how clean and simple your interface is. I even think the ads on here are more effective, it keeps the viewers centered on one brand throughout a show, but not annoying them with over saturation - just enough to be memorable. And the older shows you've brought back - awesome! The playlists are wonderful as are the last playback, start/stop embedding, and full screen features. I'm definitely inviting my friends to your site - I've talked about Hulu often enough that's for sure. I also wanted to note something to some of the reviewers I've seen on the site... this site is a FREE service, so complaining about not getting more episodes (which are controlled by their respective networks anyway) is asinine. If you want more content, buy the DVDs. Thank you, Hulu - you are doing a fantastic job!
February 9th, 2008 at 10:22 PM Excellent Idea, It worked well for g mail and hopefully it will do the same for hulu. Does the friend who joins also get 10 invites?
February 10th, 2008 at 07:56 AM Loving HULU! When I embed programs on my blog it makes me feel like a program director at an affiliate station, if you will.
February 11th, 2008 at 03:25 AM Hey - great looking site - sadly, none of the video would work for me. guess I'll try again sometime. in the meantime, tvguide video and comcast on-demand seem to have pretty much the same selection. I suggest the following - limit the flyout boxes so they don't obscure the clickpoints. Also, my personal experience with tv and movies is the difficulty keeping organized: perhaps some type of spreadsheet checklist could be added for users like me to keep track of what we've watched - there's too many shows to remember. Anyway, I hope you get the site up and running soon.
February 17th, 2008 at 12:25 AM I definitely have to invite some friends to this site. Hulu is my favorite website to see TV shows online. The other one have too many bugs and annoying advertisements.
February 21st, 2008 at 02:49 PM What the hulu's going on here? I was just telling a friend about the site. Come back to visit and all of the shows are disappearing. I thought the idea was to attract people to the site not create reasons to complain. Old conversation with friends: You should check out hulu. It's a great site. I've spent hours there watching old shows and catching up on shows like the Family Guy. I didn't realize how funny that was. You should check out the site. New conversation with friends: Sorry, I was going to send you that funny clip that I saw on hulu. I wanted to put it on my blog, but the clip is missing. I went to find that funny episode of Family Guy and the Office I was telling you about, but they're gone. They do have more ads though. Oh...and by the way, they have some clips of former Presidents. Maybe I can put that on the blog.
February 29th, 2008 at 02:13 PM Great site. How long with Hulu be in beta? I'd like to get it listed on www.RSSLiveTV.com
