[...] the success of the site, Joost’s media company investors Viacom and CBS treated the service like a red-headed stepchild. While Hulu has raked in brand-name content, Joost has tried to make do with its limited catalog. [...]

It will be great to see which dumb-ass investor steps up for this next round. Or perhaps one of its partners will waste huge piles of $$ on a brain-dead acquisition. People assume that past-success guarantees future success. They also think they are “exempt” from the perils of over-investment. Some lessons are learned the hard-way.

What a circular point of view. CBS and Viacom whine about Joost because it has no content, which is largely because they choose not to give it content. Where is Daily Show, South Park or Colbert on Joost? They have the power, especially with the coming web app, to make Joost a hit and win as investors and because they created a counter balance to Hulu. But they sit back and do nothing but complain. Typical big company self-destructive b.s.

OK so Joost burned through $45m in the last year. That's chump change compared to CBS which lost about $7B in market cap in the same time period. VIA has done a little better but nothing special.

This has got to be good news! For Veoh!

"Where is Joost on the Wii ?"

Is the question I always ask the Joost staff

One senior staffer did respond that he would love to see Joost on the Wii ,so there's hope there in the future .....but will it be too late for Joost by then .-
