Arrington: “Joost doesn’t offer anything particularly unique or compelling to users over competing sites with proprietary content (Hulu with Fox and NBC, TV.com with CBS). – Joost raised a big $45 million round of financing way back in 2006. It’s not clear how much of that is left. If they want to succeed they’re going to have to do something pretty radical.”
pC: “With broadband penetration growing, allowing for wider viewing of streaming videos and relying on P2P networks is seen by Joost as irrelevant, especially with the rise of Hulu for primetime content. As we said back in September, when Joost announced it was shutting down its desktop version, which still used the P2P networks, it had planned to release a small plugin that would embed itself in the browser and allow users to grab files.”
