We are so Joost
Yesterday, we were The Venice Project™. Today, we’re Joost™. Tomorrow, we’re yours! Imagine having infinite choice, and TV that is truly interactive. TV anywhere, anytime…
This is the year. Joost™ is coming.
My friend’s husband in Germany is part of this project, so he invited me to be in the beta-test. I finally got speakers (and as it is a video/audio program, they DO help), and I think this is VERY cool. It is not that exciting if you do not have high-speed internet. Also, it says that my computer does not have the full RAM, but it seems to run fine, so you can get away with a slim-RAM amount. Okay well I lie a little bit there. Everything is easier when you do not have to wait for loading times.
In this image you can see some of the interactive features. There are the channel options on the left, the bottom has the image information, plus can connect you to the channel options (in a really neat way). If you like music videos, this is especially awesome, because they offer alot of them. (Right now I am listening to Panic! At the Disco’s “Lying is the most fun a girl can have”). If you use a bit torrent to illegally download all of your tv shows and then have a really big television, then Joost is not really for you. But if don’t do all that, and you want to try out a new really cool idea, then head over to Joost.com and check it out!
I have not found out near enough of this project, so I will be playing with it myself. I do hope you will give it a try and then tell me (or the people of Joost) what you think!!!
