    Hulu CEO Jason Kilar just turned down Yahoo's overtures ... will he be open to Facebook's (FB)?

    Pardon me, but please tell me what precisely has been Jason Kilar's gift to the annals of management best practice? Hulu is funded by the big content providers, who in-turn were incentivized to give it content -- it's not like Mr. Kilar broke ground and did something truly novel, like NetFlix.

    I just don't get this industry infatuation. Hey, give me exclusive SNL, NBC, and other top studio content, and even I could drive a lot of eyeballs, too. And maybe even sell some ads, while I was at it ... Does that qualify me to go and run Yahoo!? Or be an executive officer at Facebook? Maybe it doesn't ... but neither should it for Kilar.
