What do you think of Joost? - GoFuckYourself.com

NinjaSteve · 05-01-2007, 12:12 PM

I think it needs more channels.

azurecash · 05-01-2007, 01:03 PM

I like the model a lot, the whole industry is heading this way. Soon you won't have a computer room it will be a all in one.....not to one up them but we are launching something like this.....keep an eye on us.

The content selection sucks but the quality is good. It will do well.

NinjaSteve · 05-01-2007, 01:26 PM

I'm sure the content will grow. And so will the ads.

Yeah, they have already cut a lot of major advertising deals with big companies.

Mr. Mojo Risin · 05-01-2007, 04:48 PM

it has potential

darnit · 05-01-2007, 06:18 PM

IMHO the interface is wonky and it keeps crashing my computer.

bl4h · 05-01-2007, 06:20 PM

Its aight. Once i watched all the national geographic shit i was done with it. All the other channels sucked. I hope they get more programs/channels

azurecash · 05-01-2007, 07:13 PM

Icast is a web tv system that will focus on original content more than just taking TV and moving it to the web.

Going to be pretty cool.....keep your eyes peeled.

ayne468 · 05-01-2007, 07:34 PM

What is joost?

RawAlex · 05-01-2007, 07:41 PM

Joost is an interesting theory, but if it was adopted to any great level, would pretty much bring the internet to it's knees. The bandwidth required to make it run is beyond stupid.

The software downloads about 320MB per hour (as a maximum) and uploads up to 105 MB per hour. The more popular the content is on our platform, the more sources it can be pulled from and the less redundant data we send; that number can be as low as 220MB per hour of viewing. We've made what we think is a reasonable trade-off between the quality of the picture and the bandwidth usage, but this is full-screen TV-quality video - so there are limits on how low we can keep bandwidth usage while delivering good picture quality.

Figure 300mb an hour... 10 hours a day call it 3 gig a day, 90 gig a month PER USER. If you are an ISP with 100,000 plus customers, the weight of this stuff on your network and peering points is going to be truly intense.

My feeling is that it will get more widely used, and then a whole bunch of people are going to get hit with excess bandwidth charges from their ISPs and suddently it will be VERY uncool to use. I notice that Sympatico (my ISP here) recently changed their programs so that new customers cannot get unlimited bandwidth. I think they see an issue coming.

PurelyInsane · 05-02-2007, 06:35 PM

So how do we get Adult channels into joost? I want my Joost Porn Edition!

munki · 05-02-2007, 06:40 PM

Someone hook up an invite... mik at topchoicecash dot com

azurecash · 05-03-2007, 08:51 AM

Raw Alex very good point, your right that the end users will have to pay more, so what will happen is that the tv will be cheap or free but your internet bill will be high.

Compdoctor · 05-03-2007, 08:59 AM

I would like it, if it did not crash, or drag all the time. As the man said above, bandwidth issues.

ADL Josh · 05-03-2007, 01:31 PM

i think it's gonna do well

Magnus · 05-03-2007, 01:54 PM

With all the major advertisers on board, it's making waves and will only get better. We are in the "on demand" entertainment I want, when I want, there will be many like minded business models to come.
