Poll: What's Your Favorite Video Streaming Service?

Mark Glaser

This has been a busy week in the world of video streaming services. The new higher rate for Netflix streaming and DVDs just went into effect, just as Starz broke off negotiations with Netflix (meaning, perhaps, less selection of movies on the service). Hulu also made noise by launching a streaming service in Japan that costs more but has no ads. And Amazon has its own streaming service and could be in the running to buy Hulu. And let's not forget about competing services from Vudu and even YouTube.

So which streaming video service is your current favorite? Are you a Netflix fan or Hulu lover? Vote in our poll and explain why in the comments below.

(And listen to this week's Mediatwits podcast for a discussion on the video streaming wars.)
