Joost is a free television service via internet. Janus Friis and Kiklas Zennstrom, owners of this project and creators of Kazaa and Skype, offer you now twenty channels with practically no advertising (one or two adds per hour).

Although it takes much bandwidth, Joost includes all kinds of programmes, musical videos, National Geographic documentaries, film channels, all in your computer. And it allows you to exchange comments with other users watching the same channel, through Chat rooms.

High image quality, continuous emission (without commercials or interruptions), customised playing lists, and the possibility of subscribing to the news in RRS format (headline format). Venice Project, currently Joost, is a free application, compatible with Windows and Mac OS X, although very soon it will be compatible with other systems.
