Joost
Joost is a place where users can watch television online for free. People can view a show and even watch tv "with" other users. There are a few mainstream shows but nothing really new. It would be interesting if stations would embrace these types of websites. What do you guys think?
Had the program on a couple computers since last fall at least. Used it a couple times but nothing regular. They recently had to scale back to just supply content to USA users instead of worldwide. Copyright costs etc no doubt. The content will drive the viewers in theory but it is here they are lacking...
