Les deux sociétés sont financées et soutenus par de prestigieux investisseurs. Du côté de Joost on trouve les fondateurs de Skype Niklas Zenstrom et Janus Friis et un tour de table de 45 millions de dollars.

On the surface it looks very similar to its more famous competitor, Joost. Both are P2P IPTV applications that let you flip through channels and shows streamed to your computer. Both are backed by deep pockets and big names. In Joost’s corner, Skype and Kazaa veterans Niklas Zenstrom and Janus Friis with $45 million in financing.

It actually works with no problems like I had with the Joost software which has yet to be fixed. I wasted a really good short on BableGum and I hope to see more from this platform soon.

If they would of just announced a private beta month ago they would of had a chance to be mentioned alongside Joost numerous times. I think launching earlier may be a boost but they missed out on a lot of free coverage and press. These guys didnt take advantage of the Joost marketing onslaught at all.
