IMF Hot New Hip Hop - Kanye West

Kanye moves up the release date of his album, and then outsells 50 Cent by 100,000 records. 50 says he's
gonna retire. Kanye performs with Jay-Z and Chris Martin. 50 attends anger management. Joost plays videos
from Kanye's "Graduation."

What's new...

First they're all cuddly playing with a teddy bear, then they're all bloody mending a broken femur. Kids today! See this Joost exclusive.
Slip right past the bouncer checking names at the door and go backstage for the making of the newest clubland videos.

Movieola - The B-Girlz

OctaneTV - Hot Import Nights
They've got hair, style and attitude to spare...and don't forget the shoes and the feathers. They might just drag you down.
"Nice cams", "Feel my ball-bearings" and plenty of other jokes come to mind when fast cars and faster women mix on Hot Import Nights.

I would like to see more mainstream programmes. It looks like 100% of Joost is indie productions...

Joost seems pretty pointless to me for one reason: The content restrictions. Why should I use Joost to watch US programming in the US when I already have a pretty nice TV/DVR for that. I would want to use it to view things I don't readily have access to (foreign programming) from my living room. Now, I realize that Joost has to respect broadcasting agreements and stuff or they'd be sued, but how is that my problem? I doesn't matter to me WHY it's useless, I only care that it IS useless. I think it's a good idea, but since they couldn't work out the legal stuff it's just pointless. Bottom line: if they can't provide me with what I want (Content that isn't geographically restricted) why should I bother with it?

Sure. That's YOUR opinion. But dont forget Joost is on the beginning if its development path, it's a quite new project, I don't see similar programs on the net. It's also free.

I am sure they will provide more services (e.g. channels) when they will be more popular. Time will tell.

BTW I can find some foreign channels (French) for example. That's not made in U.S.

The phrase "surfing the Internet" was first popularized in print by Jean Armour Polly, a librarian, in an article called Surfing the INTERNET, published in the University of Minnesota Wilson Library Bulletin in June, 1992. Although Polly may have developed the phrase independently, slightly earlier uses of similar terms have been found on the Usenet from 1991 and 1992, and some recollections claim it was also used verbally in the hacker community for a couple years before that. Polly is famous as "NetMom" in the history of the Internet.
