Apple recently added Hulu Plus to the AppleTV 2 (2010 and 2012 models only) so I wouldn't be surprised if they add more over time. There is even a rumor that the version of iOS 6 for the AppleTV gives developers access to the hardware so that they can produce apps for it. That is just a rumor though and as it stands, apps can only come from Apple.
There are methods for getting around this but I don't recommend them unless you feel like tinkering with your AppleTV.
