@Shiv, what patience? Mine ran out 25 days ago!

@Eric, perhaps a little TIS incentive to the first person to provide data to support judgement is in order.

I wouldn't be too hopeful of a quick judgment. Last month's figure came out on the 19th.

Still, there are plenty of other predictions that has better ROI than this at this time. Just my opinion, however.

Maybe the summer promotion

Maybe the summer promotion will have something to do with it, they are featuring new movies and tv shows every weekday of the summer.

Wow. 20% jump. Someone must be really bullish on this prediction.

Hulu streamed 80M videos in

Hulu streamed 80M videos in May. May's numbers showed a 27% increase relative to April. To reach 100M, an increase of another 25% is needed. This prediction can go either way.

Hulu to stream 100mil+ videos in June

Judgment on July 29, 2008: Finally, this can be judged! According the The New York Times, ComScore data shows Hulu served only 88 million streams in June - not 100 which the prediction required. Hulu is definitely a service to watch, however. Judged at S$0. -- The Industry Standard

TechCrunch reports that "According to the Nielsen Net Ratings, Hulu led all network sites in total video streams and overall engagement time in April."

Hulu users are streaming over 63 million videos and, on average, are watching over two hours of video per month each." VentureBeat explains the popularity - "To many, Hulu seemed like an ill-advised experiment to stick it to Apple and Google, instead, NBC was able to create a worthwhile service with a killer feature: free premium content."

This is a prediction that Hulu will stream 100 million or more videos in June, according to Neilson Net Ratings or a substitute selected by IS editors if Neilsen Net Ratings numbers are not available. Judgment will occur as soon as verifiable numbers may be found.
