Website Joost Stops Streaming TV Shows
The sad state of the economy has picked off another victim in the world of tech: Joost.
Though Joost itself will continue to exist, it'll be in a different capacity. Instead of streaming TV shows, its new focus will be on selling their video-serving technology to other media companies.

WiTV: Wireless Internet TV Gets Taken For A Test Drive
Considering the fact I spend three quarters of my day online (it's pitiful, but true), I'm trying to adjust to the idea of watching TV programs via the net rather than my standard couch potato/laptop in lap method. With services like Joost and networks such as ABC offering streamed shows online, TV on the net is definitely becoming more mainstream and enjoyable for the viewer. The latest addition to this growing trend is a cool new service called WiTV - "Wireless Internet TV"- which works via your web browser and includes features like an integrated chat system that allows you to talk via IM and Skype with other viewers.
Joost Is Now Mac Friendly
If you are like me and were completely clueless as to what Joost was, I'll try to explain this new way of watching TV on the internet. Basically it's a program that makes TV on the net as realistic as watching it from the boob tube. You can search for programs and channels and also take part in chats.
