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.

Someone recently dropped me a line to tell me that Vimeo was better than YouTube. Me, being the easy-going guy I am, said “OK.” Of course this might have been a clever plot on their part to get me to check it out for one reason or another. Again, I’m easy-going, so I did.
