Joost: my thoughts

Joost Beta Impressions

I have been very impressed with the Joost team and the beta. Everyone has been very professional and expeditious in responding.

Having been on the beta for several weeks now I can say that this is going to be something everyone wants. We all know there are concerns of bandwidth, but that concern is going away little by little. The target audience is people at home or on the road who want to watch quality programming.

Joost has deals with Warner Brothers(WB), Viacom, CHUM, National Geographic, and countless other content providers. So the depth of video content is good.

I would like to see a news feed with localized news, weather, sports, etc

Maybe a show like Stern, Oprah, or one of the celebrities would seal the deal for Joost.

Installing the software was fairly straight forward, although on Vista you have to make some settings with the compatibility and how the program runs, once that is done you are set.

In the last the Joost team deposited two tokens, which I quickly send to friends. Waiting for more....

I really do believe based on what I have read that this is going to be HUGE, regardless of the players entering the market. This is the wave of the future and Joost has the money and knowledge to make it happen.
