- Thanks a lot for sharing
- I think this is the dangerous trend we are on that the media only tells people what it wants and attempts to manipulate than allow people to make up their own mines
- It would be nice if we all made our own clothes out of hemp fiber, and used wind power to generate all of our energy, and so on. But that probably isn’t going to happen any time soon either.

It’s been awhile since I wrote about Joost, but the sudden departure this week of the company’s chief technology officer — which started out amicably and then became a firing — made me want to take a look at the company again. Not that long ago, Jo

I actually subscribe to the Joost blog. They add tons of content on a near-daily basis. Most of it is nominally interesting (most of it should have been added at launch, most of it isn't yet on Hulu), but very few shows have much geek cred (at least that I've seen), or if they have it, they haven't come out on slow news days.
That said, I'm not a Joost user. I'd love to be, because I much prefer a standalone utility I could run on a box made for my TV than something in a web page. Unfortunately, I can't cheaply make a box that fits the dumb system requirements of Joost. Even my brand spankin' new Dell laptop is lacking something minor in the graphics card department preventing Joost from running properly.
I want it to succeed. I don't think it will.

there's more going on there than I'm giving them credit for. But it does
sort of feel as though they have lost some momentum. I wondered even in the
beginning whether a dedicated TV-style app was the way to go, and I'm
wondering it even more now.

Making it on to a living-room appliance would certainly help. Maybe that slingbox of tricks? I can't say if it would work as I've never used slingbox.
It seems no marketing has been done since launch - which directly contrasts with the owner's other (previous) child, Skype. Here in the UK, I always see "mainstream users" knowing what Skype is, and mostly using it. That hasn't happened with Joost - maybe because of that lack of partnerships.
Fingers crossed. Keep up the great work, Mathew!

something like that might help, but I'm still not convinced. I have to say
I'm starting to wonder whether Joost isn't a solution in search of a
problem.

Joost did a better job of pointing you towards the good stuff, but I didn't
find it was very good at that at all.

Meanwhile, today I was thinking about stopping by the Apple Store and picking up an Apple TV.

Joost should really promote their recent addition of Star Trek to the platform to capitalize on this "publicity".
