Screenshots And Video Of The New Joost

So much for Joost's carefully prepared plans to release a browser version of their TV over IP service later this month. News leaked this morning that Joost would be abandoning their year old XUL based desktop client in favor of a browser based service that's more like Hulu and YouTube. Users will still be required to download a plugin that facilitates P2P transfers of files, which is still an adoption hurdle. But at least users can watch videos directly in their browser. Joost isn't just moving to a browser format.

Hulu Launches All Kinds Of Stuff To Keep You Defocused On Joost

There’s no way Hulu is going to let Joost get a foothold in the race for attention in online professionally produced video. So what happens when Joost ditches the download, goes all browser and launches a social network around their content? Hulu can do that. No problem. Tonight, via a 1 am press release, Hulu launches: show recommendations, user discussion forums for programs and specific episodes, enhanced search and better queue management. They also launched seventeen topical channels, including Anime, Fashion and Beauty, Food and Leisure, Home and Garden, Comedy, Music, Video Games, etc. The company say they now have nearly 900 TV and film titles from over 100 content providers. And while I still think Joost’s Hot/LOL/Puke/WOW/WTF call out feature is just awesome, Hulu has the Daily Show. So they win. Of course, the real battle, at least with regard to pure volume, is with the unbeatable YouTube, which has nearly 50 times Hulu’s 100+ million monthly video streams according to Nielsen Online.

New Joost Launches Now. And Next Month Joost Will Be 100% Flash. Posted by: admin in Industry News The new browser-based Joost, which we wrote about two weeks ago (screen shots here), launches this morning. The new Joost still requires a plug-in to facilitate P2P transfers of files (reducing Joost’s bandwidth costs and making high-demand live performances feasible). There are several new community features in the new Joost, which we outlined in our previous post. Joost isn’t just moving to a browser format. They’re also creating a video based social network complete with Facebook-style activity streams that shows you friends what content you’re watching, commenting on and “shouting.” See the video below: The new browser-based Joost, which we wrote about two weeks ago (screen shots here), launches this morning.

Next month, says CEO Mike Volpi, Joost will offer a version of the service that doesn’t require any download at all. The new version, called Joost Standard, will have the same social features as the plugin version and will give access to all on-demand programming. The plugin version of the service will give users access to high definition programming and live-broadcast shows. Some international markets will require the use of the plugin to offset high bandwidth costs. Both versions are free. Most users will likely just download the plugin over time, but this is a great way to introduce the service to more users without any friction.

Die Macher von Joost testen ihr Produkt in einer WebTV Version. Auf den ersten Blick sieht es recht ansprechend aus. Das Design ist kaum verändert. Der Player in 16:9 entspricht den gängigen Formaten. Player mit eingebetteter Steuerung als Ebene. Die Auswahl der Inhalte ist rechts. Darunter die Kommentare. Vollbild ist möglich und sieht sehr gut aus. Mehr dazu auf techcrunchFeed me
