So much for Joost’s
carefully prepared plans to release a browser version of their TV over IP service later this month. News leaked

in their browser.
Joost isn’t just moving to a browser format. They’re also creating a video based social network complete with Facebook-style activity streams that shows you friends what content you are watching, commenting on and “shouting” (see last screen shot above).
The new site, which is password protected, is at new.joost.com. We’ve obtained screen shots of the service, below. We’ve also created a video which will be up shortly.
Update: Here’s a video demo of the new Joost
