\n\"Joost<\/a> Joost is still in their beta stage and expecting commercial release<\/a> very soon. Joost is available now through Invite and has release the Friends Edition<\/a>. I have been looking for an invite to try out Joost; Thanks for Marsie from RotorBlog.com<\/a> who invited me to Joost beta.<\/p>\n

I was really amazed by Joost, the quality of the video was superb. Joost works on seamless Peer to Peer (P2P) networking. Joost provides selectable programs on over 150 channels, ranging from cartoons, movies, music, sports and documentary using peer-to-peer TV (P2PTV) technology. The original content is stored on main server owned by Joost and then distributed by users to other users watching the same program.<\/p>\n

Joost is signing up deals<\/a> with major video content providers which would help them to gain more programs and viewer ship. Latest in the list was CNN and Sony; Viacom was already in the list. Joost is also building up a social network around their viewer. Joost has channel chats, where users watching the same programs can interact. This is just a base for their social networking model.<\/p>\n

This service remains free since it is been paid by advertising which are shown intermittently. The Joost interface is fairly simple and easy to use. The viewing experience is also great as it suffers not much of streaming problems. To add to the value, Joost is the venture of founders of Skype and Kaaza which were most successful. You need to aware of this; since Joost runs on P2PTV technology it will consume lot of your bandwidth for both uploading and downloading.<\/p>\n

If you are looking for a Joost invite and didn’t have one till now; drop me a comment. I have Joost invites left out; you must try this service for sure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
