Joost is planning to launch a web version of its video player later this year, so users can watch favorite TV shows online and on demand without the need for desktop software.
Joost was a big hit last year when it tried to offer TV shows from all major channels on demand and it was supposed to be a Youtube killer. So far it hasn’t delivered on its promises. Now Joost wants to bring a video version of its player on the web, which doesn’t require a download.
Portfolio journal gives a lengthy profile of Joost in their site and said:
This year, viewers will be able to watch Joost videos in a browser window. Go to Joost's website, click on shows like Seth Green's edgy Robot Chicken or an old Rocky and Bullwinkle episode and you can watch them as easily as you'd watch a video on YouTube.
Previously, all Joost users had to download and install special software, whereas this web version won’t require a download, most probably it will be a flash version like Youtube. But Joost didn’t say when it will launch this web version.
Will this revive Joost and make them a Youtube killer? I doubt so.
