Where is the Joost Content?
I’m watching the IRL race on TV today and I see that Joost is sponsoring one of the vehicles. I have been using Joost since the first beta invites were handed out. Even now that it’s in a larger beta, I still can’t figure out why there’s so much great press about it. My major question is: What is there to watch on Joost?
I’ve flipped through every channel and watched a lot of the crap that’s on there and none of it is compelling. It’s all just generic music video style content. It seems like maybe they are only programming for 14-year-old boys. I just don’t see the appeal.
I look at the channel list online at Joost’s website and it seems like most of those channels don’t show up when I actually use the application. Is there some secret here?
UPDATE: Yes, I’m the idiot. I see that you have to go to the “Channel Catalog” and “Add Channel”s to “My Channels.” This seems very counter-intuitive to me. There is a lot more content than I originally thought. The commercials are still amazingly obnoxious.
