Hulu is broadening its private beta a bit by sending out a few thousand more invitations to people who have requested them. Unlike many other private betas, current users do not get to send out invitations, so you'll just have to wait for Hulu to send you an email if you haven't received one yet.

The online video site is a partnership between NBC and News Corp and includes video content from both TV channels including NBC, FOX, USA Network, and the SCI FI Channel. There's also a tiny little selection of movies available.

So far, the service has only been available within the US. If you try to watch a Hulu video, even one that's been embedded in a non-Hulu website fro outside of the US you'll get an error message.

In a blog posting, Hulu CEO Jason Kilar writes that this is something the organization plans to address. First, Hulu will have to get the rights to distribute content in every country, which he says will take time. Eventually, he says the goal is to make content available no matter where you are.

Of course, since Hulu isn't a public service, we're guessing FOX and News Corp are also going to want to ensure they can line up advertisers for each country that will have access to Hulu as well.
