Air developer releases standalone Joost desktop player

Popular video site Joost has just announced the launch of their newDeveloper Paul Yanez has recreated a desktop player for popular video site Joost. To quote our own Brad Linder, "Can haz irony?" Joost started out as a desktop app, which, if you remember, was just killed off in December.

It probably doesn't come as a surprise that this incarnation is built on Adobe Air. As long as you've got the runtime installed, you'll be enjoying the desktop player in mere moments regardless of your operating system.

The player also includes Twitter integration, allowing you to quickly share that awesome video you're watching without leaving the app. I did notice a bit of lag when switching screens, though not enough to ruin the experience.

Sadly, WB Classic's episodes of CHIPs and Brisco County Jr. wouldn't play for me, but I am in Canada - which tends to handcuff my access streaming video services from time to time.

For distraction-free access to Joost's video vault, the standalone player is well worth downloading.
(sorry for the confusion...The proliferation of Joost logos and references is just a tad deceptive)
