Later this year Hulu subscribers will be able to download shows and watch them offline. Netflix added the feature at the end of last year, alleviating in-flight boredom for many subscribers without Wi-Fi. That and more in today’s news.
- In talking with Adweek, Hulu CEO Mike Hopkins revealed that a download option is indeed on their roadmap. There isn’t a definite timeline, but Hopkins says that they’re working on it over the next few months. They’ve also secured the exclusive streaming rights to The Golden Girls. [Adweek]
- Slack now has threaded messaging. The threaded conversations take place in the sidebar so as to keep the main chatroom relatively clean. It’s sort of like DMing someone publicly, so you can fork off the conversation and let anyone else join in. (As someone who likes following a million conversations in different Slack rooms, I think I’d prefer the unfiltered chaos. We’ll see how useful the new feature is.) [Slack]
- Vimeo has a new feature for collaborators that lets you annotate a video in real time. They call it Sharable Review Pages and you can leave time-coded notes while watching a video if you want to leave feedback or critiques on an unfinished project, for example. The new feature is available to Vimeo Pro and Business users. [The Next Web]
- Mozilla held a contest to design a new logo and the results are in. I think it’s fine? It’s unique. It’s clunky in an old web way. Some people disagree. Watch the video below to see it for yourself. [Mozilla]
