Joost, the online video site that was supposed to be the CBS-backed alternative to NBC and News Corp's Hulu and Google's YouTube, is being relaunched today (Tuesday) after its original iteration failed to attract viewers. From now on, Joost's videos will be streamed using Flash video rather than Joost's proprietary software, which some users reportedly regarded as too complicated to install and use. The announcement comes one day after CBS and YouTube announced a deal under which longform CBS and Showtime shows would be made available on YouTube. However, Joost says it is launching with 46,000 professionally produced videos. With Joost, people will also be able to communicate through various interactive links with others who are viewing the shows, the website said.
