Joost Review from Red Herring
January 27th, 2007
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

I’ve been trying out the Joost beta and the video looks really good. I’m really enjoying it.
