I’d like to talk about something tangentially related to online video but still near and dear to my heart: movies. I love movies.

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?

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.
