Another day, another abbriveated edition of the Free Line. The full, unfettered version that you have come to love will return soon.

The folks in control of Hulu, the online video site that allows average users to watch television programs for free, are mulling over a plan that would see the service tackle a worldwide audience. Currently, the Fox/NBC co-production is only available to users in the US. “The concept of Hulu is predicated on being a global business,” said Hulu CEO Jason Kilar in an interview with MediaPost. “Our mission statement describes us helping people to find and enjoy the world’s premium content wherever and however they want. That will be predicated on finding the right partners and having a business model that enables us to create value for advertisers, content partners and our shareholders.” There is currently no timetable as to when, or even if, the expansion will occur.

In other news, it seems as if the world of online auctions is about to join the world of microblogging. Called Tweebay, the new service allows users to use Twitter to bid, talk, and comment on various auction items. The only real problem many have with the service is the lack of comments. As many a veteran “eBay” hunter can tell you, the comments section is sometimes the only way one can diferenciate genuine sellers from scam artists. Tweebay is available now to all users.

And finally: Television host and Digg mastermind Kevin Rose has released his list of New Year’s resolutions, and the contents are interesting, to say the least. In amongst the personal (drink wine, learn yoga) and the quasi-professional (make an iPhone game), sits a note that has the Internet talking — build a better Digg. While no one is exactly sure what he is talking about, many within the industry believe that it is a continuation of the “beautify Digg” campaign that Rose has been spearheading for months. Rose, nor anyone else from Digg, has chosen to comment publicly at this time.
