Hulu to show Superbowl ads. New beta invites available now.

Surely a high point in Superbowl advertising history: GoDaddy's 2005 commercial.

I am man enough to admit that I am not a big football fan. Superbowl? Sure, I Tivo it. For the ads. This year, I'll be checking out Hulu's Superbowl site after the game. The site promises that all the ads will be up right after the game ends, in high-quality streams.

I like Hulu. When I travel, I tune in to it on my laptop instead of a hotel's TV. The service always has something dumb to watch, thanks to its relationships with network TV providers.

Hulu is still in private beta but there are 2,000 new Hulu invites waiting for Webware readers. The Superbowl archive won't go live until after the game, but you can nab your invite now.

i've been watching hulu for about 2 months or so and it is fantastic. there are some problems and glitches but over all the service is very smooth, the commercials limited to one advertiser per show and those commercials are short and not very annoying. i love hulu!

I have been using Hulu for a while, also. It is great! It does make you wonder what they could possibly be thinking in STILL keeping it in private beta and keeping everyone else out.

Recently I posted my take on the Hulu private beta here...

We found the Sheraton WILD HORSE PASS RESORT & SPA, the GIANTS' SUPER BOWL HOTEL, (only 4 rooms left) at http://www.Superbowl-Rooms.com , they also off other LUXURY, PATRIOT'S TEAM VILLAS and 5 stars ACCOMODATIONS. Take a look at http://www.Superbowl-Rooms.com and you?ll find the cheap lodging too! BUYERS should know that there is a choice but the early bird gets the worm and the BEST DEALS! HAPPY SUPERBOWL XLIII get ready for TAMPA BAY 2009 and LODGING for the BEIJING 2008 OLYMPICS! Good Luck... http://www.14SB.com
