Joost Review from Red Herring
Red Herring has a review of Joost on their website and in print. Some notable points include:
- “The ability to get content from multiple sources through one interface could make [Joost] very successful,†says David Hallerman, senior analyst at research firm eMarketer.
- Joost plans to eventually move the Internet service to television sets through set-top boxes.
- Joost must overcome several hurdles, including content providers and bandwidth issues
- Leading movie studios and television production firms are all notably absent from that lineup and without compelling content, Joost will be hard-pressed to turn a profit.
- There will be plenty of competition for advertisers from other services such as YouTube, Movielink, Apple iTunes, and BitTorrent
