There are several major video streaming services on the Web, such as Netflix and Hulu, and in order to turn attention towards itself, YouTube decided to some changes to its video content.
If you prefer YouTube over Netflix and Hulu, you'll be pleased to hear that YouTube is going to introduce new channels with professionally produced original content during the next week. This move was announced earlier in the year and according to the reports, YouTube has invested about $100 million in the creation of original content. In order to provide original content to its users, YouTube has teamed up with several major media companies, such as IAC/InterActiveCorp.'s Electus, News Corp.'s ShineReveille, RTL Group's FremantleMedia. Of course, on the list of YouTube partners are some celebrities such as Tony Hawk and the creator of the CSI series, Anthony Zuiker.

Not much information is available at the moment, and we can only guess whether YouTube will charge its original content to the users. Anyhow, we're looking forward to original content, and to next week for more information.
