SplashCast, Hulu deliver online video to social networks
For the first time and for free, social network users will be able to embed and watch entire seasons of popular shows on their MySpace.com and Facebook pages using SplashCast’s “social TV player†technology.
As more TV viewers continue to find their favorite shows online, Hulu.com is teaming with content syndication service SplashCast to distribute primetime television on MySpace.com and Facebook. Whenever new episodes are available on Hulu, SplashCast automatically syndicates the content directly to a viewer’s social network pages. Viewers also have access to the entire network of premium channels after installing a single SplashCast player. Additionally, viewers will be able to meet and interact with other fans watching the same shows.
The SplashCast player includes full episodes and clips from various seasons of each show, as well as interviews with the show’s characters, producers, and more. Fans can even upload their own humorous photos and videos for all to see, as well as view, rate and comment on photos and videos submitted by others.

My question is will “SPLASHCAST” allow me here in the US to watch video from the EU, that would otherwise be blocked? And would my friends in the EU be able to watch Video from the US that is otherwise blocked. I have been as they have been waiting for this pointless blocking of video between the continents.
