Joost 1.0

http://www.joost.com/

Some people may appreciate having a break from television while they are on the Internet, but this latest version of Joost offers no such rest to those potentially weary souls. Joost allows users to watch thousands of shows online, provided that they have a high-speed Internet connection. Along with popular programs, visitors can also search through the genre list to locate documentary and news channels. New users may also wish to look through the “Selected Picks” section as well. This version of Joost is compatible with computers running Windows XP Service Pack 2. [KMG]



Dugg-Digg Widget for Dashboard 1.1.5

http://web.mac.com/duncankeall/Dugg/Dugg.html

Digg is perhaps one of the web’s best known sites, and it contains various content submitted by users from all over the world. Dugg 1.1.5 is a tiny widget that can help Digg devotees (and Digg neophytes) search and find content on Digg quickly. Visitors can view stories for specific topics or users and also check out what friends might be “digging”. This version of Dugg is compatible with computers running Mac OS X 10.3. [KMG]
