Joost is pretty good -- not so good that I think "how did I live without this" but good enough that it is something I will use maybe a couple times a month. I like that it is streaming video -- so I don't have to wait to start watching a show. And, they have some interesting channels. But, it remains to be seen if this succeeds as a business.

It’s not surprising they got this done - it was almost certain to be a hot deal with VCs, given it’s founded by the guys that founded Skype.
