Joost Discards Software Application – Browsers Ahoy!

December 17th, 2008 | View Comments

Today, I got this email from Joost.com (quoting):

Hi Marco

In October, we introduced our new website – Joost.com. With our new website, you’re able to watch all of our videos – TV shows, music videos, and films – right in your web browser.

At this point, we have decided to discontinue our original Joost software application. As of Friday, Dec. 19th, you will no longer be able to watch videos in the Joost software application – but you will be able to find all of our videos, and more, on Joost.com.

Log on to Joost.com today for a complete online video experience!

I welcome this idea very much – with today’s browser and streaming technology, you do not really need to install special applications any longer. Plus: now you can watch it from any computer you like – as long as a browser is installed, which should be the case.
