TechCrunch say that their source is claiming that Hulu will go in private beta next Monday, so that it can still meet CEO Jason Kilar’s self-imposed October deadline.
I am curious to see if I will get an invitation… but I don’t have too much hope since I am in Canada and apparently Hulu will be a [...]
Joost just released version 1.0.2 of it’s client for Mac (intel only… sorry PPC) and Windows. There has not been any forum post about it yet so I don’t know for sure what new is in this release… but I suspect it revolves around bug fixes and UI improvements.
You can download the new client over [...]
Just found out that Joost released a new version of it’s client. Based on the Joost forum post this appear to be mainly a bug fix release:

Softwarebattle.com wrote an interesting review of Joost. Here is an extract. Read the rest on http://www.softwarebattle.com/2007/10/04/joost-beta-review/:

Since the announcement of OnTheToob acquisition by Joost a cold wind has been blowing on the “not so secret” Joost IRC channel (do some Googling to track it down). Many Joost developers are hanging in it and are chatting about various subjects.
Recently things got really quiet. Some would say that development get this quiet [...]
There is a patch release out for the single channel trial – version 1.0.63.3. This release fixes a few nasty timing and start up related bugs that were causing some people problems. It’s probably the last single channel release.
LiveStation are testing the multi-channel player now, and looking to bring it out of testing soon. It apparently [...]
Update:
