The History of Hulu
Hulu is an online video service that offers popular TV shows, movies, and clips. The company was founded in March 2007 by several independent management teams with offices in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, and Beijing. The mission was to help people find and enjoy the world’s premium video content how and when they wanted it. These teams came together to create a service that users, advertisers, and content owners could enjoy and benefit from at the same time.http://www.hulu.com/about
Hulu allows users to view full-length feature films without downloading any additional software. Users only need a Flash 10.0.22 enabled computer and an Internet connection to watch movies on Hulu.
