A friend asked me what I thought of Joost as it stands today.

For some reason the new one won't load any video for me on my machine (could be issues on my company intranet).
I have been a big fan of what the guys have been putting together over the last year for this. And I do think they are paving the way for something new. I think they will be successful and I think they've done a good job of IPTV via the internet rather than via TV cable or Satellite lines %u2013 that means its a little more natural to the way we consumer content through our computer, although prone to be held by the constraints of how fast our ISP can deliver the content or our computer to play it .. but thats just technological issues (more relevant in developing countries) .. the point though is that they are developing the infrastructure and software interface to deliver to an audience they are grooming with content channels they have been signing up.
