Hulu to take on Google in video search
We might scoff at News Corp. and NBC's claims that their joint video project, Hulu, is capable of taking down YouTube, but the site isn't above stealing a page from Google's playbook. Alongside its own hosted video, Hulu's search database will cull links to rival networks' shows — particularly those hosted on Hulu distribution partners like AOL. Hulu might never become a one-stop video destination like YouTube, but it's positioning itself as a rival to Google in video search.
