PaidContent reports that Disney is in talks to become an equity partner of Hulu, joining NBCU and Fox in the joint venture. (Full disclosure: I work for msnbc.com, which syndicates video to Hulu.)

A long-form deal with YouTube likely would use an embedded Disney player.” Very interesting: YouTube as a pure distribution platform for media clips. Stay tuned…
