Youtube, Hulu, Veho

YouTube: When viewing a video the layout is pretty basic with no ads distracting you as you view the video. Usually the videos load pretty fast and you don’t have to wait for a video to buffer as you watch. On the main website there is a search bar where you can search for thousands of videos as well as advertising that may become very distracting.

Hulu- When viewing a video I had to let the video buffer momentarily but didn’t slow me down for too long. Also the website appears to be a collection of videos with links to where the video could be viewed. For instance I clicked on a John McCain video and it took me to a different website that was full of ads that became distracting. On the main website there are different categories that allow you to search for TV shows as well as full length movies and allow you to watch them with a few commercial advertising.

Watch it on Academic Earth


Veho- When viewing videos on veho I had to sit through an advertisement as well as wait for a video to buffer and load. Also after the video started a few ads popped up at the bottom of the screen and it took my attention away from the video because I started to try and figure out how to close the dang ad. On the main website of Veho the site seemed to be filled with several ads with just a large search bar in the middle of the screen.
