“Joost”: Skype Founders are working on Free Internet Streaming Fullscreen TV

Joost Logo-1I have just signed up for their beta today. Let’s see when the Mac version is ready for testing. If I get to check it out you will read about it here. From their FAQ:
“What is Joost™? Joost™ is a new way of watching TV on the internet, which uses new and established technologies to provide the best of both the internet and TV worlds. We’re in the process of making it as TV-like as we can, with programmes, channels and adverts. You can also see some things that we think will enhance the TV experience: searching for programmes and channels, for example, as well as social features like chat. There are many more new features to come!”

Ah, and you can sign up for their upcoming public beta here.  They are working on versions for Windows, Mac and Linux.
