RUMOR: Shake Up At Joost, Marketing Team Trimmed

Joost is having a bit of a mixed day: On one hand, they seem have hired Jason Gaedtke, previously chief scientist at CableLabs, as their chief architect, and on the other hand they have cut jobs in their London office. We are told that three people have been let go from the marketing team. The company is trying to streamline its operations, as indicated in the Portfolio magazine profile on Joost.

  • OM – more importantly – what’s with Cigar still sticking out of your mouth? Or is this Avatar a collectors item?

  • Om, what a stupid post! Talk about tabloid journalism – isn’t it just as possible that Joost is changing things to improve the company? Think you’re reading way way too much into this “story”. Now the CTO hire, that’s meaningful news.
