A Quick Note on Joost...

I don't want to push the post below about our watermarking out of sight because we still want people to comment on what option they think looks better (color or no color), but I wanted to write a quick note on Joost. They are planning on building out a browser-based viewer for their p2p service. I think this is welcome news because it's hopefully going to help facilitate web-based video viewing between users and third-party sites (for example, being able to plug into YouTube to scroll through content without having to visit the site). This type of connectivity is coming, and we want Cutcaster to be in front of the line when the first web-based apps start doing this on a mass scale.

Joost Raises $45,000,000

Joost which isn't lacking from buzz, talent and multiple content partnerships now just added to its bank account with a sizable round of financing. Once the investor's drooling ended, it came out with 45 million. Thanks to my friend Michael for pointing out I was missing on the blog. Always on top of your game. I'm looking forward to see how Joost will go head to head with YouTube.
