"We already know it's been a landmark year for Hulu, having just had a peep at its year-end stats. According to NewTeeVee, comScore's Video Metrix clues us in to another milestone stat coming up for the online video giant: 1 billion video views served monthly.\nHulu finished November with 924 million total views, which represented an eight percent increase from the previous month. Hulu would only need to continue that eight percent growth rate through December to achieve a full billion streams served by the end of this month.We probably won't know if the milestone is reached right away, and it may not quite happen in December, but that astonishing growth marker will undoubtedly happen in January even if not by the end of 2009. By comparison, Google (mostly YouTube) was serving 10 billion views per month at the height of the summer, but has fallen back to less than seven billion monthly views in October (although some of that discrepancy is likely accounted for by the comScore vs. Nielson datasets). \nBy contrast, Hulu has grown steadily and sometimes sharply; it was at only 235 million views a month back in April and climbed to 488 million a month in August. A massive 47 percent increase from September to October saw the online video site climb to 856 million streams per month \u2014 and now it's poised to add another digit to its monthly figure.\nDo you get your online video fix from Hulu, and if so, how often?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
