Joost.com - Combining the Best of TV and Internet

For the first time, TV and internet will unite in a way that takes advantage of both types of content. The creators of Skype and Kazaa have brought us Joost. Joost takes TV programs and brings them to the internet so that you can watch what you want when you want, giving you far more control. There will also be a bigger variety of shows because specialist programs will be available as well. While watching or after you´ve watched something that got you going, you can chat with other users about the programs. You can even create your very own TV channel.

We"re providing a platform for the best television content on the planet - a platform that will bring you the biggest and best shows from the TV studios, as well as the specialist programs created by professionals and enthusiasts. It"s all overlaid with a raft of nifty features that help you find the shows you love, watch and chat with friends, and even create your own TV channels.”

They are so popular already that there´s a waitlist to get to use the beta version! They´ve signed deals with Viacom (beating YouTube), National Geographic, Warner Music Group, and have more coming. A lot of people spend the majority of their day in front of the computer or TV. Now they can get it all just at their computer. Everyone is interested in how it´s going to do and they already have offices in five different countries. The creation of personal TV channels has a lot of potential in itself.

Will the streaming be quick enough for people to turn off their TVs, cancel Tivo, and come watch at the computer? Can I please get off the waitlist so I can play with this website??!!!
