Yahoo! Throttles Jumpcut

by Allen Weiner  |  December 17, 2008  |  Comments Off

As I build out a TV studio in my garage, I have been going through all the online and offline nests where I have video content in an effort to consolidate my content. When I arrived at Jumpcut, a really cool browser-based video mashup service from Yahoo!, I see the site is no longer accepting new content. After nuking Live, Yahoo! appears to be sunsetting Jumpcut. Based on those two moves, I would have to question Yahoo!’s commitment to the more cutting-edge elements of the consumer content business. I believe I still can upload videos to Yahoo!, but until the portal actually consistently puts a video tab on its home page, it doesn’t seem worth the effort.
