Joost a minute YouTube while I dance with Hulu
For all those video startup sites up there beating their brains out trying to find a descriptive name like YouTube, take a minute to look at the names of their fast-growing professional competitors Joost and Hulu.
Despite its strong Dutch overtones (as if you know or care), Joost is an abstract word from the people who brought us Skype. They have major corporate funding, a strong international outlook and are growing like crazy. So they can call themselves whatever they like.. we will pass it around and get used to it quickly.
Hulu is somewhere in the middle.. almost an English or Hawaiian word… regardless it is a great emotional
play off the ever popular word Hula. Not as abstract as Joost, but certainly not as descriptive as YouTube.. and only in USA do they call the TV a tube anyway.
Joost and Hulu deserve name awards… plus they are doing a great job of delivering smooth, quality video content.
