No need to wait for Joost to go web based now that my buddy Mark Erickson at Infinite Solutions told me about Google TV.

(Still no beta invite yet after 2,303,679 logins, but I just now it's going to pop up any day now...)

I disliked Joost because it took over the whole screen (and because it didn't for on my Mac until they did some tweaking.) I'll be taking a look at it again when the browser version comes out, but I'm not really sure I'll be swayed unless they have better content.
Joost's biggest problem: http://www.joost.com/whatson/

The networks have their own video services, and those that don't are supplemented by people streaming their TVs for others with Justin.tv and sopcast and other p2p apps.

I'm curious to see how a browser-based Joost will work. The benefit of the desktop client was that P2P would keep their bandwidth costs to the minimum. With a web based version they loose the advantage of their P2P experience and significantly increase their bandwidth costs.
