The poor kids at Joost—and their partners at Viacom—thought the future of TV on the computer would be a discrete app that blended a slick TV emulator with internets! power. They were wrong, Hulu and Google were right: It’s all about the browser. So that’s where Joost is going. Its Flash-based player officially launches full-throttle tonight. The early word from paidContent is that it’s still no Hulu—the best place for CBS content, maybe, but it’s got a lot of catching up to do. Though really, it’s not clear that it ever can. There’s a reason our internet TV remote is heavy on the Hulu. [Joost via paidContent]
