Joost Review

The same company that created Skype is also behind the successful video content site Joost. The site started as a computer app which was a sort of video player and was made available for PC and Mac. A few years ago they dropped the computer media player and started using Flash video on their web site. There is an iPad app that work very well. The content on Joost is mostly older movies and TV shows. there are also many links to entertainment news and music videos. The content on Joost would be mostly viewed to kill time. Since Joost does not have any agreements with major content providers as a result it might put some user off. If you like YouTube then Joost might be a nice source for some video content. At this point Joost is not my major source of video content, but it fills in for those times I just want to watch random stuff on my iPad. It would be nice if Apple would make Joost an app for Apple TV 2 or add AirPlay to the iPad app. If you want a new source for video content then give Joost a try.
