Joost is currently a private beta.

Joost is a new way of watching TV on the internet, which uses new and established technologies to provide the best of both the internet and TV worlds. We're in the process of making it as TV-like as we can, with programmes, channels and adverts.

Joost is the creation of the co-founders of Skype and Kazaa. It was formerly known as The Venice Project. Recently, Viacom asked YouTube/Google to remove over 100,000 video clips from the YouTube database.

+ Answers.com Officially Launches WikiAnswers
WikiAnswers (formerly FAQFarm.com) became a division of Answers.com last November.

Distinct from other community Question & Answer (Q&A) sites, where answers are voted on but not improved, the content on WikiAnswers is an ongoing collaboration of shared knowledge, using the "wiki" methodology best known for its use on Wikipedia: The quality and coverage of answers is upgraded and improved over time by the community, under the direction of category supervisors. The result is a permanent, multidisciplinary, high-quality archive for people who have similar questions or interests.

See Also: Some of the latest questions looking for answers.
When we checked earlier, lots of questions about cars and truck repair.

See Also: Expert Powered FAQ's and Answer Databases (via AskA+ Locator)
One resource not listed in AskA+ collection is Answers@NOAA. Ask and answered questions about weather, meteorology, climate, environment, etc.
