Joost was what the creators of Skype went on to after it was sold. They’ve recently announced a new focus for the company, mainly they want to be a white box video platform and they’re working toward that goal now.
The new Joost will seek to allow media companies to create a branded video sharing presence for themselves. It seems that Joost wasn’t doing so well as a consumer-facing product, competing directly with YouTube, and so they’ve moved their aim at bigger potential clients. Meanwhile Hulu has taken the lead for high quality broadcast TV video online.

Hulu Traffic Growth Slows, Dramatically

Ok so, Hulu, who recently had a row with Nielsen over traffic numbers, is suddenly not the high flyer that it once was. I’m sure it’s nothing serious and might even just be a bump in the road partly due to a lot of series wrapping up for the summer months. Less totally new content means less totally new viewers right?
Well according to the latest ComScore numbers (because Hulu doesn’t play well with Nielsen) it looks like that rocket-like growth may have hit the glass ceiling. The land of the double-digit month-to-month growth numbers may soon face into oblivion for the video service.

Microsoft has launched their new Google competitor, bing, complete with video search and everything.
The thing is, I don’t know what all the hype is about. People are talking about it like it’s going to be some actual competition to Google and from what I can see it’s nothing special.

Oh ho hoo! Comic book guy from the Simpsons would be so proud of that statement. He would most likely smirk and say Fastest. Media. Ever. (Maybe I need a rant warning here)
Well apparently Trendstream has taken a page from his comic book collection and done the same thing in a recent report stating that online video is the fastest-growing media platform in the history of media. It’s even moving so fast that it’s beat out papyrus and the printing press I guess.

Rumors on the web state the Hulu is probably going to be in the UK by year end. As you’re all probably aware by now, I don’t live in America so I don’t get Hulu at all. They’re apparently going to be expanding into those ‘other markets’ of which they’ve told us for so long.

According to the New York Times, Hulu is angry, angry with Nielsen. ComScore, who probably doesn’t even like Nielsen considering their past, sides with Hulu. Hanging in the balance are the true traffic numbers of Hulu and the reputations of all involved.
