Joost juices the video experience

But what's new is that Joost (which started a few years back using peer-to-peer TV technology) has now moved to an open delivery model that doesn't require you to download a special application. Just a browser. That's a big change of plans for the founders who brought you Skype. And shows you how open the future of distribution will be.
