_ I got one ! I got one ! _ What ? _ A Google Wave account ! _ Well yes, what about it ? _ It's the new thingamajig by google, it's gonna connect us all real time and we'll merge and mashup our lives with our tweets and, and, and... _ Shut up ! calm down and tell me more. _ Ok, well up to now the web has evolved, from static pages to dynamic pages. IM turned us into frantic chatterboxes. Then the web started being user contributed, we posted blog posts, comments. Then Facebook and Twitter came along, mixing our physical meaty social life with our web life. GMail became a kind of hub to our chat and mail use. Skype merged IM with chat and video conferencing. Our networked life became rich but complicated. Google Wave, tries to tie all of this in some sort of realtime web app making it easier to use the virtual team metaphor.

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.
