The Simpsons- Treehouse of Horror #19 Hulu.com
After clicking on the link to get to show, there is a list of all the full episodes from the current seasons. Also there are clips from other popular episodes from previous seasons. Under the links to clips and episodes there is a places for user comments and a separate section for user reviews. Around the screen there are buttons to embed, share, for details, full screen, pop out, and hi-res. The page is set up very user friendly and is easy to navigate. At the beginning of the show and through there are ads for different things.
The Simpsons Youtube
You can watch full episodes but they are broken into different parts that are not always complete. The episode is posted from a fan of the show not from the producers. The quality is not very good. There is a button for full screen, and user ratings and comments. To find the clip you want there is not a clear easy way to get to it you have to search and hope it comes up. The are no ads in the clips its self but there are some around the page.
Youtube vs. Hulu
Hulu has better quality video than you tube and more options for viewing the video and full episodes but is full of ads. I think that the youtube is being greedy trying to get into the same field as hulu and are getting to far away from what made them popular in the first place.

It's a great idea putting the same episode of the Simpsons on one post. It shows how hulu is professional and easy to view with high quality while I'm pretty sure the youtube version was posted with a video camera in front of a tv. And it's only five minutes long.
As far as the hulu vs youtube debate goes, I think both should keep doing what they're doing Neither should try to do what the other is obviously doing well. Youtube simply doesn't need to try and show full length movies or shows because there are already other websites that pwn that part of the media.
fox.com can't even show their own clips as well as hulu can show their clips. Each company just needs to mind their own business... so to speak...
I'm glad I got to watch this year's tree house of horrors! I missed it when it aired. That's why I do watch T.V. on the internet. When I got on to watch this time I noticed some of the options were missing. I could embed, share and view details of the episode. I thought it was strange that I couldn't find the high resolution or full screen option. Overall the experience was good. The only thing that people may hate is that channel surfing is a little difficult in this situation.I don't mind sitting through an ad or two but I can imagine some would find it difficult.
Hulu is a great find to view high quality shows. The limited commercials are bearable so long as tou are sure that you will see what you want. YouTube seems quaint by comparison. It will continue to be the leader in user uploaded video and I wonder if Hulu will cause individual uploaders to submit fewer commercial rip-offs since they know the material is available elsewhere, beter. I have also noticed in YouTube that some posters have such a high viewer rate that they can sell ad space in their videos. How long till YouTube will want a piece of this pie?
