Joost - Streaming Video with Hype

Joost is video streaming done well, very well. Joost is also viral marketing done well, very well. Because I can only see it to be evolutionary and not a revolutionary step towards IPTV. There are no real "new" features, no new paradigm.

Also whilst we don't need another Youtube with user created content, which Joost has clearly said it will not be, I hope we will see it open enough to allow independent creators be able to publish their stuff. As a start what would be great is a Top Video Podcast channel that had the most popular video podcasts from one of the podcast directories.
