Lulu Dislikes Hulu

Valleywag reports that eensy weensy (771K visitors for July, according to compete.com) Web 2.0 content tools provider Lulu.com is suing huge behemoth NewsCorp/NBC JV Hulu.com for trademark infringement and deceptive trade practices. Lulu clearly hasn't thought this through; their traffic's bound to go up, at least a bit, from the occasional (if somewhat unlikely) typos that Hulu visitors are going to generate.

Actually, if anyone's going to sue Hulu it should be Mr. Sulu. There's not, after all, that much difference between the ability to navigate to the stars of online video and the ability to navigate among the stars on video.

Okay that should get the geekiness out of my system for a while.
