Well, I had so much hope for joost when it first came up.
Leo Laporte and Amber Macarther talked so much about it.
I had to run out and get me a beta test. The first branch of i.p. TV tree had sprouted. They had a program you had to install that seems a whole lot like what is now called Adobe Air. The program and the videos ran and played really smooth, looked pretty good also. One day a bunch of people started complaining about the install process (a whole 4 seconds to download, 12 seconds to install..) So the Joost team dropped the installer and started at going with online streaming video, much like Hulu. I really liked the program, it ran like a torrent program or good ol Kazzaa. On a peer program.
Sad to say though, Joost never had any really good videos, other than “The Lexx”.
Joost is sold to a company called “Adconion Media” . Really I never heard of them. I hope they make the best of it. I was actually hoping for nbc,cbs and or hbo/showtime/usa to merger on a deal to buy it. Oh well .
Good luck gang.
After Leo Leaving the country and not recording the tech guy podcast, I realize how few tech podcasts are left out there.
Linux action show is computer action show now, that’s fine but heck there used to be a tech podcast network. that network kinda fell off the blip now.
anyone know some good tech podcasts ? please leave the link or rss feed in response to this thread.
Every week every day I have to start out listening to my shows. I start with sdr then move to the tech guythen caffination and then twit. Through out the week I pick out the rest. Following week, I start all over. Occasionally I get lucky and Jobacle has a new episode. If you send topic requests, he might actually research the topic and hook you up. Really well done program, just not enough of it there. The unsigned musicians portion of the show really is good stuff, most of time!
Twit This Week In Tech, a network created by Leo Laporte. Shows I highlight that I must listen to every week.
The Tech Guy, Net@Nite,TWIT.
Tech Podcast Network Place to hear tech podcasts and select from a few. sdr, linux news log, Mike Tech, CaffiNation,
Podnutz A gathering of tech podcasts on one network. pretty good stuff.
At the top of every page on the tech news site, there is a tool bar, you don’t have to use it but it does already have the podcasts I listed here in the rss feed and the radio player. I use that tool bar on my bootable linux thumb drive, my home pc, my laptop, my work pc , scanned a million times over there is nothing to fear from that bar it really is very useful. but again, you o not have to use it to try the podcasts I listed.
