Joost rival Veoh
With all the news and hype around Joost I thought I’d add some balance by mentioning Veoh.
Veoh, like Joost is a peer-to-peer video network that allows content owners to create channels for distributing full-screen, high quality video.
While Joost has been in closed beta Veoh has been out there for a while:
Here’s what Veoh says about Veoh…
What is Veoh?
Veoh is an Internet Television Network that is able to reach anyone with a broadband Internet connection and a PC or a Mac. All you need to watch is download and install the Veoh software (~ 5MB, installs in under one minute).
Veoh allows anyone to create and broadcast their own TV show or a Channel full of shows. Not small streaming videos, but FULL-Screen, TV-Quality video. Veoh does not transcode the content, but rather offers it in it’s native encoding, and does not limit the file sizes/length of video. Veoh’s goal is to become the platform for producers of all sizes (from individuals to studios and everyone in between) to have a democratized TV broadcasting system.
Veoh is unregulated so it is a true FREE SPEECH television network, politically unbiased and unaffiliated.
