Viacom goes for Joost

After ditching YouTube, Viacom has signed a broad licensing deal with Joost. Joost's promise that it would protect Viacom's copyrights was a major factor in VIA's decision to pursue the deal. The same issue was a stumbling block in the company's talks with Google.

Joost was started by the guys behind Skype and is currently in testing phase. You can currently sign up for their beta and tinker around with the program. They're planning to launch in June...
