Joost vs YouTube
21 Feb 2007 | Tagged as: Online video, Internet, Media
Viacom pulls content out of YoTube one day and then signs deal with Joost the other day. Some people might wonder if Joost and YouTube are competitors in the new media landscape. But BuzzMachine puts it well when they write that “Joost is the new cable MSO, airing full shows at full size” while “Audience recommending clips via YouTube is what will drive viewers to Joost”. They services are compleatly different, YouTube means short and small clips while Joost is streaming high quality full size video. They both (other other services like them) have a place in tomorrows media ecosystem.
Also some more good news - Joost beta for Mac is out too!
