Joox's sleek black design is an instant hit when you visit. The site has minimal advertising and currently uses just Stage6 videos (which guarantees good video quality). It's fast, simple and very popular. Built and administrated by 1 person, moderated by a volunteer staff of 16. This site is a gem that is sure to rise even more. We managed to pull admin Christoffer away from his keyboard for some words:
MUO: Other sites have varying views on the legality of their sites, what's your take?
Joox: Well, I'll be following the trial against The Pirate Bay that's about to start here in Sweden right now. And if they find them guilty of committing some crime by providing "links" to copyrighted materials (their words not mine), then maybe I'll move the hosting to Asia or something. I wouldn't shut the site down unless I have no choice or they nuke my server :P.
MUO: Do you have a removal policy?
Joox: Well, I don't host anything, so I could only remove my links to the content not the content itself. I've got 2 warning emails so far and by the time I read them, stage6 had already taken down both movies in question. If I go to trial I might say that I have, but in reality, no there is not much point.
MUO: So what can we expect for the future from Joox?
Joox: I plan on adding lots of features like grouping different videos when there's more than one part to a movie, adding IMDB info and DVD covers to the video pages and also allowing other sources then stage6 for the Divx files. Our members have given me lots of ideas on the forum.
MUO: Are there any sites like Joox that you like yourself?
Joox: I've never liked any other sites besides the now dead TV Links (which I discovered after I made Joox), I liked them because they included much more content, sometimes when your desperate you don't care if it's a flash video. ;). I don't visit any of the current video link sites as most have bad designs, lots of ads (I try to keep the amount of ads to a minimum on Joox, only what's needed for my hosting costs) and most of them steal Joox video links.
Joox is the site that everyone names as their favourite and that's down to their no-nonsense design and simplicity done well. Everyone will always choose quality videos over flash if they have the choice and Joox has an abundance of top quality content that is sure to satisfy anyone.
