Joost Reinvents Service as Brandable Video Platform

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.

C-Level Execs Turn to Web Video for Business Information

Forbes Insights, in association with Google, announced the release of a new study today called, “The Rise of the Digital C-Suite: How Executives Locate and Filter Business Information.”  The study is of 354 C-level and top executives at major US companies with annual sales in excess of $1B and is designed to shed insight into how these executives discover and share business information.  As one would expect, the findings show that clearly the internet is the major source of information above that or network contacts, trade publications, etc…

Textual information is still king, but online video is growing in importance.   Almost 1/4th (24%) of those C-level respondents (vs. 16% non-C-suite) indicated a preference for retrieving business information via video.   So, do you want to graduate from a mere top level executive to a C-suite executive?  Its simple, watch more online video ;-)

comic book guy1 199x158 Online Video Fastest Growing Media Ever?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.

Mogulus is dead (figuratively), long live Livestream

Mogulus, which always sounded to me like a beast from the Jabberwocky along with the jub-jub bird and the Bandersnatch, is no longer. Well it is, however it has been slain through and through and risen up from its own ashes, a la the Phoenix, to become LiveStream. A far more descriptive name if you ask me.
