Joost adds new features and new content for streaming Internet TV service

by Brad Grier on February 20, 2007

in Social Media

Joostâ„¢Today’s head­line from the New York Times reads “Viacom to Offer Online Video, but Not on You­Tube”. This past week­end, Joost released an update to the latest beta ver­sion of it’s stream­ing video soft­ware, and for the first time, released a ver­sion for Macintosh.

My exper­i­ence with Joost has been good, so far. It’s got a pretty funky inter­face, has social media aspects, but the con­tent hasn’t been there enough to keep me engaged. Hope­fully that’ll soon change with this new partnership.

Update: Joost has added a few more chan­nels, includ­ing doc­u­ment­ary pro­grams from National Geographic…Joost just got more interesting!

But the big ques­tion, will this just be more TV, or will the social aspect add value that TV just can’t?

What do you think?
