By now many of you have heard of or even seen Joost.What is Joost? Joost is basically an on-demand IPTV network. IPTV is television over the internet rather than traditional broadcast television.
What's good about it? Well it is on-demand as stated before. Being on-demand is great because you can watch what you want, when you want to , however, there is a downside to this for Joost.
There really isn't a lot of content people will want to watch. Besides a bunch of re-runs of Much Music and a whole bunch of documentaries the service is rather boring. Lately they were able to score a partnership with National Geographic. They also have a deal with Viacom for upcoming programming. Star Trek anyone? Those two points are good news.
The user interface is easy to use but the big problem is Joost opening by default in a maximized window. Number one problem with that is that I like to watch my videos or at least listen to the audio while doing other things on my computer. Number two problem with that is that the quality of the picture goes way down. It's not bad but it's not good either.
If you are looking for an invite I have a couple to hand out so email us at technobabble001@gmail.com to get yours.
