From the makers of Skype, Joost is an internet television platform that uses an interesting technique to deliver realtime video to its viewers. It’s streaming television meets a P2P network…sort of. There’s more to it than that, but most people aren’t bothered by the details. Joost lets you watch tv when you want to, as well as adding a few internet only features like searching and chatting during shows. Their intro video is fun. It’s still in beta (and I’m still trying to get an invite), but I think it’ll be open to all fairly soon. It’ll be interesting to see if it takes off, and also if major content providers provide major content. You can see what’s on right now, but it looks like a random assortment of shows or small networks for now.
