It’s been a crazy week for digital advertising. And it’s only Tuesday.

1. Hulu is about to launch for real. I’ve been in the public beta and have been catching up on McHale’s Navy and The A-Team piped onto the big screen. I can’t wait to get the Rockford Files online, because the other plot lines are thin. And 1980’s special effects (real as they may be) are lame.
2. EU regulators approved the Google-DoubleClick deal and the transaction is now closing. Microsoft has been on tour with aQuantive to discuss the progress of things for their online advertising strategy. It was a good conversation and — no doubt — prompted by the imminent nature of Google-click.
3. US cable operators are pushing forward with standards for interactive advertising. It’s what I’d do if I were a cable operator, so no complaints about the plan. Plus it’s called “Project Canoe.” I’ve got a separate post on the topic.
