What went wrong with Joost's desktop client?

Joost desktop client had peer-to-peer support: Maybe the biggest differentiator of Joost was that it (also) could use peer-to-peer for content distribution, just like Kazaa and Skype (the other two ventures of the Joost founders). This promised to really reduce video distribution costs. For some reason, this didn't work out - and I think with Flash Player 10, you can do something similar.; Posted by: Joe Data Posted on: 09/05/08 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
