Get Joost Up

A few weeks ago, Joost came out of it's invite-only beta and went public. I'm only getting around to blogging about it now because I was having problems signing up because of avast!, my antivirus software.

I think Wikipedia puts it quite well: Joost is a system for distributing TV shows and other forms of video over the Web using peer-to-peer TV technology. What this means is that you can get some pretty nice looking video playing fullscreen on your computer minutes after you sign up. There's lots of interesting content on the Joost network, I found Numb3rs to be quite interesting, and CBS has put more of their shows up for streaming too. While I much prefer Miro, I like Joost as well for it's legal, good quality, and interesting content. There's something for almost everyone on Joost, and it's free, so why not give it a try? Go check it out now. I'd usually write more, but I have to finish watching the latest episode of Numb3rs.
