The deal actually seems pretty important to me for two big reasons:
Exploring The Complex Relationship Between Links & Views
For those of you who are not aware, SEOmoz—one of the SEO consulting industry’s leaders—has their own index of the web. Unlike Google’s index, the one at SEOmoz, called Linkscape, is after information about links. Rand Fishkin and his team spent months developing the index, and continue to refine, expand, and hone it. The idea was that if Google was going to place so much value on links, there ought to be some way for SEOs and site owners to learn about the links they and their competitors have accrued.
August Video Watching Online Tops Everything Previous

July Biggest Month Ever for Online Video, Hulu Tops Time Warner Cable
July was a big month all around for online video (according to comScore) but perhaps it was the biggest month yet for Hulu who, according to various research, surpassed Time Warner in viewership during the month. Could this be the turning point for the cable giant or is it just a fluke due to lack of interesting things to see?
Nielsen Ratings Shake Up – Hulu and Blinkx
After months of not a lot of movement going on at the top of the Nielsen reports for video traffic we suddenly get some major shake up and a new contender. The top ten saw some major moves from top to bottom last month which could pave the way for further change. Plus a dark horse that is lurking in the shadows ready to pounce it would seem.

Hulu Does not Want You To Watch Their Stuff
Hulu does not want you to watch their stuff. At least that’s how it feels sometimes doesn’t it? If you live outside of the US you simply cannot watch their content. Well, you could by using a proxy service which caused some lag and slow downs and some other issues.

But now, you can’t even do that. Hulu has put the kibosh on anonymous proxies according to TechCrunch. Hulu has now found a way to lock out those anonymous IP services from fooling Hulu into thinking you are in America.
Hulu is a Mouseketeer
In case you haven’t managed to read any of half a dozen places today. Disney has invested in Hulu. No big surprise really, someone was bound to do it sooner or later.
