What Do You Think Of Joost?
Everton | May 08, 2007 | Comments
I’ve been using Joost for a day now and I’m very, very impressed (get a Joost invite). Joost is a service that I could easily spend an evening using, which would never happen with YouTube. Joost definitely takes online video to the next level in my view.
Over 50 Connected Internet readers received invites yesterday, including many who I’ve never seen before (where have you guys been hiding?!). What do you guys think of Joost?
The clinchers for me are the full-screen high-quality video and the breadth of quality content available, like music videos and full TV shows. The video looked pretty good even on my big TV. Whereas, with YouTube I would probably only use it for a few minutes at a time to watch a few videos, and then I get bored.
I think what Joost have got right is delivering a sit-back online video service that matches the way that people are used to watching TV. With Joost the content just keeps coming and it can be left running in the background, and you don’t have to keep selecting a new video every couple of minutes like you do with YouTube.
