Two major updates from Joost, the online TV project formerly known as
The Venice Project and created by the makers of Skype and KaZaa. First and foremost,
there's a Mac client available. It looks and works exactly like the PC client. For now, it only works on Intel based Macs.
And second, Joost has issued an update that improves video quality, as well as adding new video content. One of the main complaints from early reviews of Joost was the lack of videos worth watching. Now you can get:
- National Geographic Documentaries
- Content from the Indy Racing League
- Classic cartoons including Rocky and Bullwinkle
- Independent films from IndieFlix
- Reality TV programs including Bridezillas
- Comedy, video game tips and reviews, healthy living programs, and Bollywood music videos
Still not exactly major news at a time when companies like Wal-Mart are announcing deals to
deliver video downloads from all six major movie studios, but it's a start. You still need to
apply for a beta tester account or get an invite in order to use Joost.

The Mac and Windows versions are identically while the interface is built with the multi-platform interface description language XUL from the Mozilla project.
