Just like your wheat grass this morning, this is juiced (well, Joost really, but pronounced “juiced”). It’s coming to us from Swedish entrepreneur Niklas Zennstrom and his Danish partner Janus Friis, the guys behind Kazaa and Skype– which as many of you know sold to eBay for $2.6 billion. Joost utilizes the same P2P technology as Skype to stream media to your computer screen. The result is purportedly an on-demand type of TV experience that looks great windowed and passes muster when expanded to fullscreen. While you may be thinking that the FCC is going to come after your ass if you start using Joost (i.e. just seems too good to be true), you must understand that that’s not the case– Joost content is a result of licensing agreements with partner channels, which are continuing to expand, and currently include the likes of Viacom, Comedy Central, and National Geographic. What’s left to say? I can’t wait to give this a try!
