Joost to Cut Jobs By Erik Even  |  Dated: 06-30-2009
joost_160x120Internet TV service Joost is cutting jobs, eliminating customer service, and demoting its CEO.

Joost has not announced the number of layoffs; it employs 100 people in New York, London and the Netherlands.

The firm will move away from its identity as a consumer website due to competition from Hulu, and will concentrate on selling its video platform to media companies. Joost has programming deals with CBS, Viacom and Warner Bros.

Mike Volpi is stepping down as CEO, although he will remain with the firm. Current senior engineering veep Matt Zelesko will take over as CEO.

Joost is an Internet TV service, created by Niklas Zennström and Janus Friis (founders of Skype and Kazaa). During 2007-8 Joost used peer-to-peer TV technology to distribute content to their Mozilla-based desktop player; in late 2008 this was migrated to use a Flash-based Web player instead.

Testimonial of the Week

What I liked about the service is that it had such a comprehensive collection of jobs! I was using a number of sites previously and this took up so much time, but in joining EmploymentCrossing, I was able to stop going from site to site and was able to find everything I needed on EmploymentCrossing.

Only TravelingCrossing consolidates every job it can find in the domain and puts all of the job listings it locates in one place.

  • We have more jobs than any other job board.
  • We list jobs you will not find elsewhere that are hidden in small regional publications and employer websites
  • We collect jobs from more than 4,429,376 websites and post them on our site.
  • We are private, and therefore far fewer people are applying for the jobs on our site than are applying for those on public job boards.
I like the volume of jobs on EmploymentCrossing. The quality of jobs is also good. Plus, they get refreshed very often. Great work!
