Joost!
May 16th, 2007Joost is an exciting new platform that has the potential to revolutionize the way TV shows and other video content is distributed over networks. If a few more popular and informative TV networks join the system, I may never have to subscribe to cable television ever again.
If you haven’t the first clue about Joost, it’s a P2PTV-based program (by the founders of Skype and Kazaa) that lets you watch near-TV resolution video content over the internet, converting a computer into an instant on-demand TV set (without a set top box and its tight storage constraints).
Oh, and the program is still in beta testing, under the title ‘Joost for Friends’. As a beta tester, I do have a few invites, so if you’d like one, feel free to leave your name and email address in the comments. Don’t worry, I won’t send you spam. You’re not that important. Just kidding!
