JOOST! Revolutionizing Television.
I just received a coveted Beta Testers' invite to JOOST! This new venture form the entrepreneurs behind Skype & Kazaa promises to revolutionize TV by being the first to provide quality that compares to regular TV, but on demand, over the internet, for free.
This I gotta see. I'm very much into the concept of it, being an early adopter of watching shows on abc.com, nbc.com & Itunes, but ofcourse all of those have issues.
