  • WickedDrag0oN, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Iv been playing around with Joost for a few weeks, its actually really cool. They already have a decent amount of programming from the main stream media. Personally being able to watch Robot Chicken on demand just tickles my soul.
  • WickedDrag0oN, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Seriously Paramount? If Star Trek gets on Joost, thats it game over for cable.
  • z3rgRush, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6Joost, bring me Lost / BSG / Heroes on my computer. You will be the new youtube cool.
  • navtejkohli, on 10/11/2007, -2/+5Because we at Digg love bandwagons. And paid homepage visits.
  • Bamborzled, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2@esotericguy

    Yes, but you can find them pretty much anywhere because Joost now gives you an unlimited number of invites. Just ask someone who has a Joost account.

    The content on Joost is now marginally better as well!

    Say that again?
  • navtejkohli, on 10/11/2007, -3/+5How astute of you to say so.
  • McJake, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Still very 'beta' for me.
  • inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2south park, simpsons, and family guy is all it needs

    sportscenter too
  • Jrr6415sun, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2you're delusional if you think that will ever happen, or if that is something that could realistically happen. Maybe in 5 years, when they're not as big anymore.. but for now, those shows will only be on abc.com /nbc.com or itunes.
  • DarthJay, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Joost says they'll be getting G1 Transformers cartoons soon...
  • nullynull, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2Ads + P2P + DRM + Stale Content = LAME

    Seriously, are you really going to whore out your bandwidth for content that's encumbered with DRM and ads?

    Blizzard, try that slimy stuff too with there WoW patches.

  • WickedDrag0oN, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Its free ***** quit your bitching.
  • moocow1452, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1In other news...

  • Juaquin, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2If they got BSG, it would be an instant win. Game over. Joost wins.
  • moocow1452, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Star Trek, and they have it made.

    Never mind. Someone already said it.
  • doctordetroit, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0For those looking for invites, metue.com has them also. They wrote an article on this same story earlier today.
  • kidcodea, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1wake up. anyone that knows anything about new media or the net itself, having tested joost, knows it is doomed to fail.

  • shagggie, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0The CAA deal means original content, not stale content. I'm personally excited to see what they develop. With a stable of actors like Lindsey Lohan and Frederick the Performer - I'm sure we're in for quite a treat! The bigger issue I've seen is performance. On a cable connection, the playback stuttered quite often for me on a MacPro with 1Gig of Ram.
  • sukimashita, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1Please also provide live TV functionality like people expect from an anticipated IP-TV system. You can give me your money later for this awesome hint. (See sopcast.org and all those Asian P2P IP-TV clients; can you do better?)
  • Phantene, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0I just joined Joost last week, so I've been busy playing around with it. This article is very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
  • 1jaxstate1, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1They can't even get the good version of the Transformer cartoon...and you think they'll get Lost, South Park, .....
  • theschnaz, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0check out www.sourban.net for more info and accounts
  • ryanspahn, on 10/11/2007, -1/+0Joost has been a good cable TV substitute for me as I have my PC hooked up to my TV and dont watch much TV. If interested see my TV - PC set up ( http://www.techavid.com) . Flame it or no?
  • ronfez, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1Oh good, more content that will likely be US only.
  • Ahnteis, on 10/11/2007, -3/+1yes, but you can get an invite online automatically. I don't remember URL -- found it with google.
  • esotericguy, on 10/11/2007, -3/+1is this still invite only?
  • PathDaemon, on 10/11/2007, -3/+1I would have invites if there were a PPC version of Joost with which to activate my account...
  • SickFinga, on 10/11/2007, -4/+1Anyone got invites for Joost?
  • CaptainRant, on 10/11/2007, -8/+1Why did this particular story get 30 diggs within a minute of it being submitted?
  • uberneoconcert, on 10/11/2007, -8/+1losers.
  • unselftitled, on 10/11/2007, -11/+2wow
