From Chris Salmon, Guardian:
This time last year, MySpace was the undisputed champion of social networking sites. Now, chances are you and your friends have taken your virtual banter to Facebook. Even the web's mightiest sites can tumble from grace when something better comes along.
Which brings us to Joost. When details of the on-demand web TV site were announced in January, tech bloggers began labelling it "the YouTube killer". Created by the founders of Skype and Kazaa, Joost was to use ad funding to provide full-screen, full-length video content at broadcast quality, for free. The player was finally made available to download from joost.com in October. Since then, music has established itself as one of the site's main draws. Browse its Music and Music Entertainment sections - the difference between the two isn't clear - and you'll find several dozen channels dedicated to bands, labels and genres, from tango to trance.
Update: I downloaded Joost and while it is a nice package, the selection of music in no way compares to what can be found on YouTube.
