What best then a major deal to break the news to the world. It’s been a few days now that I’ve added a promo banner at the bottom left of the blog and it’s going to be there for a little while. Now joining the ranks of Opera, Skype and Ubuntu; Joost is the new name given to the formerly known The Venice Project. At first it was about sharing, then about talking for free, now you can watch for free. The new Joost platform allows content to be watched on PC or Mac with Linux coming soon. There is not much to say about it just yet, they’ve got a lot of nice programming to entertain you. Thanks to the recent buzz Joost signed a deal with Viacom, meaning there will be ties with Paramount, MTV, BET and Comedy Central. They boast themselves as providers of premium content and they are definitely delivering. Keep your eyes on the blog for invites as soon as I get some, or even more details as soon as I read back that non-disclosure agreement you have to accept each time you load the beta program. They’ve reached version 0.8 and we could expect a final version not too far out. Visit Joost.com for some more info on the program.
