Day Remains: Offline Play Moves to Hulu
Later this year, Hulu subscribers will be able to download the shows and watch them offline. Netflix added this feature late last year , saving many subscribers from the boredom of flying without Wi-Fi. About this and much more in today’s news.
- Speaking to Adweek, Hulu CEO Mike Hopkins revealed that their plans do include downloads. There is no exact timeline, but Hopkins says they are working on it over the next few months. They also got exclusive streaming rights to The Golden Girls. [Adweek]
- Slack now has a message flow. Conversation threads happen in the sidebar to keep the main chat relatively clear. This is similar to a public conversation with someone so that you can end the conversation and allow someone else to join. (As someone who enjoys following millions of conversations across Slack rooms, I think I would prefer unfiltered chaos. How useful the new feature is.) [Slack]
- Vimeo has a new feature for collaborators that allows you to annotate videos in real time. They call these generic review pages, and you can leave timecode notes while watching a video, for example if you want to provide feedback or criticism on an unfinished project. The new feature is available for Vimeo Pro and Business users. [The Next Web]
- Mozilla has run a competition to design a new logo, and the results are already known. Think it’s okay? This is unique. It’s clumsy the old way. Some people disagree. Watch the video below to see for yourself. [Mozilla]
