Joost adding web based content search capability

Joost™ the best of tv and the internet

So far Joost content could only be searched and selected using the client UI. Joost is about to release a client update that will support content access via URL links tied to a Web search feature hosted by Joost.

For example, to get a list of available Joost channels one could access:

http://www.joost.com/search?q=+type%3Achannel

Producing:

Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us

Simply select one of the channels and you will get a list of all available program like:

Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us

If you want to watch one of those show simply click on it’s name to get the show details:

Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us

And if this is what you are looking for then click on “Click to start Joost” link.

This will allow Joost users to create online show library to share with friends. It will allow them to browse and search for new content while on the road and then email a link to what they want to watch the next time they use Joost.

Another very interesting Joost search link is one like:

http://www.joost.com/search?order=recent&count=60

That will quickly show you what is new on the platform.

Think about what else could emerge from this:

  • Inline browser Joost playback a la Youtube with the option to maximize to the full UI.
  • Another nice search could be “What is Popular now” to tune into what most other Joost users (or maybe a select group of Joost freinds) are watching.

Enjoy the new found search feature… and if you have ideas about what else could be cool let me know!

    Ok, I have to admit — that’s very cool. I guess this means you could also construct RSS feeds of your faves, and feed those into Joost as well…
