YouTube Acquires Next New Networks, Introduces "~YouTube Next' Training Squad
Cute kittens and toddlers may be YouTube's bread and butter, but Google's video portal needs more than that to encroach on the goliath that is cable TV. But instead of shelling out for the rights to premium content from cable networks, YouTube is hoping it can nudge its existing community toward making high quality videos.Today the company has confirmed that it has acquired Next New Networks, a firm founded in 2007 that focuses on producing high quality original video content for the web. Alongside the news, YouTube is announcing 'YouTube Next', a team of experts (made up by many of the NNN team, no doubt) who are setting out to "supercharge creator development and accelerate partner growth and success". In other words, YouTube is going to give certain partners access to a team of experts that can hopefully help them produce better content.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/6u9uCY1zqgs/
