YouTube & Hulu Make Sharing Even Easier

Sunday, April 13th, 2008

Not that YouTube and Hulu didn’t already want you sending their content everywhere, but it doesn’t heart to make it simpler. Both sites recently rolled out features that automate syndication of content to social networking and bookmarking sites, streamlining the process of sharing with friends.

Hulu offers sharing links for eight sites and has enabled support for viewing clips within RSS feeds. YouTube has taken their community portion a step further, displaying related commentary such as video responses and blog trackbacks directly below videos and personalizing sharing preferences based on usage “so if you Digg more often than you Facebook, Digg will show up instead.”

Not that any of this news is particularly groundbreaking, but it will doubtless lead to more widespread distribution of those sites content. Expect to start seeing more Hulu and YouTube videos in your Facebook news feed in the weeks to come.
