The top 5 Joost alternatives

Joost™This logo either means I am a blogging snob or that I am a beta testing snob. I am neither; believe me.

I recently got my Joost invitation from the Joost people, and I have got to say it is a good start for them. More on that in a later post...

I just found an interesting write up on The Neophiliac Pass about The top 5 Joost alternatives
- T.N.P. pretty much nails it, though I would throw in Winamp and its video sharing piece as another possible alternative.

Gotta wonder, what ever happened to throwing up an outdoor antenna and hooking it to a TV?

I would, happily, but when I have tried to send get the invitations out to others the program tells me I do not have any invitations to give away.

Je suis désolé à ce moment.

Usenet Usefulness
- it is a very interesting post. I have always assumed that the RIAA/MPAA will go after the low hanging fruit first. First they hit webservers with copyrighted content, then the moms and grandmoms of the world using Napster like clients, then the bittorrent users via IP numbers, then colleges and universities.

I understand your sentiment, that usenet is widely available for anybody who wants it, so why keep it a secret. But, just use your imagination - how could it be shutdown? Ask yourself that and you will find yourself in the same place of an entertainment industry lobbyist or attorney.

I am not saying you are wrong AT ALL, I am in no way an elitist nor do I subscribe to their newsletter, but the **AA will try to take USENET down, one server at a time, when they run out of fruit. That is the **AA's reason for existence. They do not seem to have anything better to do.
