Of course Barack Obama’s inauguration is drawing huge attention–both national U.S. and worldwide–if nothing more than the U.S. has the opportunity to change in a completely new direction for the first time in eight years.
With huge attention comes huge online viewership. Services that stream decent content libraries like Hulu and Netflix Watch Instantly (even Joost canceled its software version and converted it to a web application version) have exploded in traffic growth throughout 2008–and according to Quantcast, leveled off after the election.
If you have a Netflix account, then you know what it’s all about. If you don’t, please reconsider subscribing if you love movies, or just easy to access video content. However, not even every Netflix subscriber may be taking full advantage of their accounts.
Netflix ‘Watch Instantly’ works best when you have a large flat panel monitor, or have your computer connected to your TV/entertainment system. Like Hulu.com, but without commercials and more studios/networks backing the content. Top videos include: Heroes, 30 Rock, The Office, Ratatouille, Superbad, Spiderman, Illusionist, etc. And now, an additional 8.21% of the market–Mac users–can enjoy their favorite entertainment content too. Check it out!
