Disney content is now on Hulu, and in exchange The Walt Disney Company has taken an equal-third share of the service. Who wins and who loses in this deal? Is Hulu’s future all rosy or are there dark clouds on the horizon?

Disney Deals

At the end of March it was announced that short-form clips of Disney shows would be coming to YouTube. At the same time, The Walt Disney Company was said to be having discussions with Hulu about possibly coming on board.

A month later, almost to the day, and that deal has now been officially announced. Disney is now an equal partner in Hulu alongside the founding companies of NBC Universal and News Corp. Hulu will get content from ABC, ABC Daytime, SOAPnet, and The Disney Channel. While Disney will get a 27 percent share in the company.

Reddit is one of the most popular social bookmarking sites along with Digg, Mixx, and StumbleUpon. After years of keeping everything simple, the site has now launched a new video site. It seems Reddit has found its multimedia muscle at long last.

Multimedia Maneuver

I like Reddit for many reasons. It may not be as huge or well-populated as Digg, be as clever as StumbleUpon, or have the glitzy new Web 2.0 elements Mixx has, but it’s simple and very easy-to-use. The clean lines and no-fuss interface is fine but it does mean multimedia such as photos and video are kind of shunned to the background.

But no longer. Today saw Reddit launch Reddit.tv, a separate entity from the main site which shows videos being voted for in a continuous stream. It’s an idea that isn’t particularly original, having already been done by Stumble Video and Twitmatic, but it’s great nonetheless.
