What do you want to know about Joost?

Plenty of blogs have recently been buzzing about Joost, the new online video site devised by the creators of Skype and Kazaa, which was formerly known as the "Venice Project." I've been beta testing it too, but rather than posting a basic walkthrough, I'd like to know specifically what kinds of questions you have about it. So, post your Joost inquiries in the comments of this thread, and I'll answer each one in an upcoming thread about my experience with the beta.

You can be as general as you want ("Is it really going to kill YouTube?") or as specific as you want. Bring 'em on!

I gave a first look at 'Joost' last week..

I gave a 45 minutes look at Joost a few days ago.

My first impressions are that the quality of the picture could be better.
Programming some good (Nature programs for example)
One thing I like is the 'Control' interface.

I am sure that they are working out the kinks on a daily basis.

I will keep exploring over the coming week and report on my blog 'Serge the Concierge' when I have more elements.

Can I broadcast myself?

When I think of P2P and the folks who brought us Kazaa & Skype, I think ME. With the Venice Project/Joost, will I be able to make "Channel innonate" and broadcast my own shows? Basically, will it incorporate vlogging (something I don't actually do, yet)?

Do you have a Joost token I can have?

I want to know...

How is Joost going to fit into my life, my schedule. I do not want to add another service to my life that I have to go out and utilize - will be fit seamlessly and if not, what will it replace?

Video quality and range

I want to know if the video quality rivals divX's stage 6 and, if so, whether you believe we'll start seeing a large variety of videos as we have come to expect on youtube?

Ask the hard questions

Try and get some info about the p2p system and the open source developers behind the project ;)....

Is Joost anything like SopCast?

If it is a p2p live streaming, channel there is very little reason to be so interested, because p2p channels takes ages to load even if you have a 6MBPS connection speed. Also, this sounds more like the marketing hype of Skype, just like it has always done for its Pc2Phone. There are so many better, cheaper alternatives available - like internetcalls.com
