In private beta testing mode since January, the England-based ProofHQ has just opened it’s program up to the the public. What makes it so appealing to so many is the obvious allowance for collaboration. ProofHQ makes this simple with the use of several formats on the web. Blogs, social media applications...users are able to comment and give feedback on a project that can be seen by anyone working on it by using embeddable objects.

There is no cost for this new personal version, unless you want to upgrade to a more advanced package that offers more storage.  The free package only allows for five proofs a months (50 megabytes of storage), and the upgrades run anywhere from $29 to $99 a month. However, you can get a feel for it to see what you think by taking advantage of their 14 day free trial offer. It is both PC and Mac compatible.

Online video service Hulu will be opening its doors to the public in just a few days. As of Wednesday March 12, 2008 anyone will be able to sign up and use Hulu, where before (and currently) it is has been limited to invitation only sign-ups which has been in effect since they first launched just over four months ago.

In addition to opening the service to anyone, Hulu will also be adding the previously rumored Warner Bros content as well as a selection from twenty others to include the NHL, NBA and Lionsgate. Hulu will be offering more than 250 TV series and about 100 movies at the time of launch.

For anyone that was unable to get a beta invite, I would highly suggest checking it out on Wednesday. Being skeptical at first myself it proved to be a very nice way to view TV shows online.
