Scored an invite to the Joost beta. It’s now ramping up for full release this month, so that isn’t quite the big deal it was a few months ago, but I’m still looking forward to checking it out.

If you haven’t heard about Joost, it’s online, on-demand video. In and of itself, maybe that isn’t anything new, but it’s notable because it comes from the people behind Skype and Kazaa, and Joost has managed to secure major content and major advertisers. Significant, because it’s going to take both to achieve any degree of success.

If nothing else, Joost is further proof that the days of appointment TV are fading fast. I’ll share my impressions after I’ve spent some time trying it out.
