Comcast Should Dump Fancast, Embrace Hulu
"OPTION 1: SWITCH TO ANOTHER BROWSER?" What is my five-year-old daughter and my 90-year-old grandmother supposed to do with that?! When I go to Hulu, I get no prompt that says (in so many words) "MY MACHINE IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO FOR THIS WEBSITE!" - it just plays the videos I want to watch. That's it. No downloads. No waiting. No rebooting.
I'm sure Fancast has a lot of good stuff on it, but enough with the "download this player" and "update your browser" and all that crap we have had to endure for the past 10 years. You've made me feel outdated and behind-the-times for too long. Now I realize it was all bullshit. Now that Comcast owns Fancast AND Hulu (1/3 of it), it's time to dump the one that sucks.
Sorry Fancast.

About Jill Kennedy
Jill Kennedy is an Ivy League MBA / refugee from Lehman Brothers.
Manka Bros. (and the Manka Business Channel) hired her (for a very low sum) to cover the world of media (not the world of Medea) in her own words without corporate interference.
About Medea
Medea was a real bitch from classical mythology - as most famously dramatized by Euripides.
She was a sorceress and wife of Jason, whom she assisted in obtaining the Golden Fleece. When Jason deserted her, she chopped up their children. One could say, Medea acted as rationally as a major media company.
Tips, Scoops and Smoking Guns
YouTube is still the most intuitive. The interface is better on Hulu but it's easier to just sit and watch stuff on YouTube.
Agreed. Dump it. Or make it betr.
What's funny is that the majority of videos served up on fancast come from hulu anyway.
