Hulu beating Google's Youtube in ad war

by nutjob Feb 16, 2009 2:03AM PST

Hulu is making a profit with its ad campaign while youtube is losing money bigtime for google. Start putting youtube in your deadpool. I was right about jaiku, youtube gone form google in 16 months or less.

Not a surprise

Hulu has higher quality content. And keeps the viewer there longer.

But there is no way google would give up YouTube, it's a strong controlling footing in an emerging market that google has the spare cash to run for how ever long it takes to be profitable.
