By anthony | Published: March 12, 2010
Chris Allison is a social media strategist at NeboWeb , where he helps clients make the most of the social web. You can follow him on Twitter as the voice behind @Neboweb . As social media marketing becomes more widely practiced, the questions of the day are less frequently focused on the benefits of social media and more often focused on its implementation. Justifying social media to superiors is no longer the marketer’s biggest challenge. Instead, marketers are being challenged not on the potential benefits, of which there is ample evidence, but rather on how to get those benefits.

Hulu Gets 400 Hours of NFL Video

By admin | Published: March 9, 2010
Hulu struck a deal to host content from The NFL Network in January, including eight shows and highlights from every team in the National Football League. The network has been adding new content to the site ever since, and this week Hulu has posted an impressive 400 hours of NFL-related videos. Fierce Online Video reports that Hulu plans to add 600 more hours before the next football season starts. Sports enthusiasts are seeing a big boom in web video coverage; the NCAA college basketball league just launched a website that streams shareable clips from countless March Madness plays. Meanwhile, Hulu is likely hoping deals like this one will — in tandem with its own in-house reality show If I Can Dream — help make up for the loss of two of its most popular shows, The Daily Show and The Colbert Report .
