Description The same folks who convinced millions to Skype home instead of picking up the phone want you to Joost instead of turning on the tube. Launched in 2007, joost.com provides free online access to nearly 60,000 television shows, film, and music videos. The site allows users to share content reviews and recommendations with other members of their online network and includes integration with social-networking sites Facebook and Belgium-based Netlog. Joost has offices in London, The Netherlands, and New York City, and earns revenue from selling advertising. They are in partnership with content provides such as Viacom, CBS, and Warner Brothers.
