Joost before you fail

-


I know, i know, Joost is not new, but it's news. They are back, with a revenge... Joost started it's second life, as a website.

If you go down the blog list in january 2007 i was soooooo excited to write about Joost a new concept, out of the browser and on to the desktop : Web app !!!

Then in april the same year (remember that was like a year and a half ago), i got my beta account and i was even allowed to flogg invites, i even got my only comments (and maybe visitors) at that time. Then after using it for a while, 2 days, i lost interest in it.

What was wrong then :
  • The idea ? Na !
  • The shows ? maybe
  • The software ? yeah
It was just to bloody buggy and it ended up not even working anymore. But these days comes the resurrection, as a website. Why should i care anyway ? Because i am starting a business based on web apps and this should be a strong study case. We'll come back to this another time, for now just go and show your support to the good people at Joost, welcome back dudes.

Joost about time (2)

Well That's it, Joost has gone public ! From what i've seen so far it's the warm up stage, we'll see more stuff as people connect and join Joost. UPDATE : After testing Joost for a couple of days, i must say that the technical side is great but the content is poor and a bit on the trash side (Guinness records tv, Strongest Man competition, MTV, etc.). I hope the programs will get better, or maybe i have to high expectations. Why not put more TLC and Discovery stuff , (yeah i know, it's a matter of copyright and all). But if the target was geeks, why not give us geek shows, like MythBusters or American Choppers. The user interface is good and the widgets are cool. Chatting with other viewers is so new, Joost is a good idea, and will pick up with a better choice of programs. I still have some invitations to give away.

After Paris on april 2nd, the gospel of Adobe Air is spoken in Limoges for the WIF , Michael Chaize an Adobe evangelist was there to introduce this technology to end clients. It wasn't so much about how it's made but rather what can be made of it. This approach is important if we want to be able to sell Air Apps. So let there be Air. Stay tuned for the next breadth.

Taxes, Taxes & Taxes

We survived despair & depression, after being hurt by reality. A company is a fat cash cow for any democratic state or country, or is it ? Well no; true we got to pay for taxes all the time, but then why care ? A company is a way to shape your dreams and make them come to reality, with an accountant in the picture. So far, i've learned a lot about financial mechanism, social status for the boss, how to avoid some taxes. Next we will enter the money rounds, how to found a company and find shareholders (with money). Among the budding projects here is a listing : C. is starting up a second hand branded clothes store. M. & A. are brother and sister, they have the goal to set up a vehicule recycling plant with shipping to Africa. P. is eager to have your dog behave, she is a dog comportementalist. A. will feed the world with her restaurant. A. has a plan for you to escape from your kids. A. will start an arts print shop on the web. M. is on the line to open up a mobile pho...
