It sure isn’t easy. [...]

Their lying to Linux users about a client for that platform was a huge mistake. I received an invitation early on to test the client. Now it appears Joost only wanted to generate buzz with the Ubuntu group.

All discussions on Joost forum about Linux were brushed aside for too long. Bad mojo yo!

To Renat Zarbailov:

Thanks!

I want to point out that I think Techcrunch generally handles the balance between hype and honest excitement quite well. And to be fair, the small
amount of relevant criticism aimed towards Joost came from techbloggers and not from newspaper journalists. The most naive coverage of
Joost as a service came from techoriented paperjournalists. .

I also cannot deny that hype, expectations, hope and excitement is what makes the world of internet-startups and the blogs covering them interesting and inspiring. It just got a little out of hand
with Joost. There are other services out there that deserve and need the kind of help and hype Joost got from the world of techjournalism and some parts of the techblogosphere.

The problem with desktop apps is their user experience compounded by a complex security model. It’s a model that is more than a decade old and has not evolved to match the ease of the online experience. Google, Adobe, Microsoft and Mozilla are all trying to solve that, without much success so far. But I believe the line between web app and desktop app will be blurred one day and these debates will become unnecessary.

Isn’t the whole purpose of a blog to provide hype (sometimes positive, sometimes negative) on the very latest developments? You certainly shouldn’t be reading blogs expecting in-depth investigations and analysis…

When real news organizations die, civilization is so doomed.

No, online video is superior because slackers can watch TV at work and pretend that they’re working.
