Joost is trying to follow Pandora's footprints and shut its door to everyone outside of the US.

Someone has to stop this irritating trend, before someone decides to shut down the Internet itself for everyone outside of Yankee-land.

<A href="http://www.joost.com">Joost</A> appears to be scaling back its game plan a bit. <A href="http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/industry_sectors/technology/article3688393.ece">The Sunday Times reports</A> that the online video platform will focus entirely on distributing content in the US, where it has the largest audience. Up until now, Joost has provided videos globally, although the content you were able to watch was determined by your country of residence. </DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.downloadsquad.com/2008/04/06/joost-to-give-up-on-global-domination-focus-on-us/"><DIV>The company was founded by Niklas Zennstrom and Janus Friis, the founders of Skype. The goal was to give users a standalone application for viewing high quality videos over a peer to peer network, rather than spending all day squinting at YouTube style videos embedded in web pages. But while Joost has managed to sign a few major content partners like CBS and Viacom, you can generally find more up to date content from <A href="http://www.downloadsquad.com/tag/Hulu/">Hulu</A> or the BBC <A href="http://www.downloadsquad.com/tag/iPlayer/">iPlayer</A>. </DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/D91F65E9-F366-4CCC-A939-C6D5F8DB7E9A/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
