Joost
Whats all the hoopla about Joost?  Finally I got into the beta…well I got the beta invite about a week ago but just had a chance to play with it

What do I think?

I’m not sure yet. Joost is pretty. Joost works pretty well. The video quality is decent for a streaming IPTV platform.

I think it has a lot of potential.

The real deal? Joost has a slick interface, you can move windows around, and it has a few widgets such as chat that makes this program pretty nice.

I think as time goes on, and there is more content, Joost will probably be just as popular as the other software from these guys (Joost comes from the makers of Skype, and Kazaa). The only thing , even though the interface is slick looking, I wish they give you the option of having a more simpler interface. As it is right now, it is pretty annoying to use. Nice to look at, annoying to use.

The Programming?

lets say you were bored, sitting on your couch watching tv….nothing is on…so you are flipping through the channels. You don’t find anything but you end up settling on something to watch. You know all those stations that you only spent a half of second before you move on when you were flipping channels? That is comparable to all the content on Joost. I know better programming will eventually show up on Joost, and when it does ,it will be a nice little time waster. I’ll keep checking back to see if that happens.
