CBS: Joost not dead in the water
CBS Interactive president Quincy Smith, whose CBS Audience Network of online video sites includes a partnership with Joost, isn’t one of them.Speaking to a small gathering of tech and media reporters at CBS’ New York headquarters Thursday, Smith gave a firm “no” when asked if Joost–which requires a software download and has slipped from the Web video radar since its buzzworthy debut–was dead in the water. “(Mike) Volpe knows what he’s doing,” Smith said of the Cisco Systems veteran who serves as the start-up’s CEO. “It’s got a good team.”
Smith did add that he thinks Joost should be Web-based, not a download.
