I haven't exactly been a big fan of YouTube (and its parent, Google) but there are signs it is moving in the right direction.

NBC and Fox's joint online video venture Hulu has launched today. The site will only be available to a few thousand beta testers initially, but its content will be rolled out to Hulu's distribution partners.
NBC and News Corporation's joine online video venture, dubbed 'Hulu', has acquired Chinese online video site Mojiti in a deal worth around $10m (4.9m).
Mojiti doesn't actually host videos itself but allows users to annotate and customise existing videos from other sites. TechCrunch suggests it may be used as the basis for Hulu's forthcoming video site.
No surprises to see NBC heading over to Amazon’s Unbox online video service, following the content owner’s decision to ditch a deal with iTunes.
Amazon has catered for NBC’s variable pricing demands, with new shows likely to be priced more highly than older ones. Apple refused to budge on its fixed price policy, which appears to have been the dealbreaker.
