[domainacrobat]

I recieved the new Business 2.o the other day. It outlines the next Big 25 companies on the net. It is spread out over several online sectors and Video is one of them. As most of you already know, www.Joost.com is coming to the masses soon and they are at the heart of this article. It features several other companies, www.blip.tv www.dabble.com www.metacafe.com www.revision3.com www.stumblevideo.com www.veoh.com It continues on in a separate 4 page article about the next wave of online video sites, technology and advertising( www.spotrunner.com www.vitrue.com One of their highlighted sites is a MTV owned site www.Talentload.tv ! ) . All I can say is wow! The next few years are going to be real interesting. If you can get your hands on this magazine you should! Very informative, it goes indepth about Joost and several other soon to be phenomenons in online video. It makes me really rethink alot of price points for my .tvs.

Perhaps Joost will happen sooner,

I would like for someone to provide a full definition of what Joost actually is, and how it is different from watching video in your web browser.

Here is how they describe it on the site:

"What is Joost™?

Joost™ is a new way of watching TV on the internet, which uses new and established technologies to provide the best of both the internet and TV worlds. We're in the process of making it as TV-like as we can, with programmes, channels and adverts. You can also see some things that we think will enhance the TV experience: searching for programmes and channels, for example, as well as social features like chat. There are many more new features to come!
How does it work?

Joost™ uses secure peer-to-peer technology to stream programmes to your computer. Unlike other TV and video-based web applications, it does not require users to download any files to their computers or browse through complicated websites."

So is this like a seperate porgram/browser that streams the video directly to the user?
