+Just in case you had any doubts about the popularity of streaming internet TV, Joost has revealed that they now have [more than one million users][2] -- and keep in mind that the service is still a private beta.
+
+While we think [Miro offers a superior application][3], Joost certainly has the competition on the ropes when it comes to content. The site continues to add [new channels][1] almost weekly, the latest partnership brings National Lampoon's content to Joost viewers.
+
+One interesting thing about these numbers is that in my (admittedly somewhat limited) testing I haven't noticed the service getting any slower, which is pretty impressive considering the nature of the service.
+
+Even Joost co-founder Niklas Zennström admits that as the user base grows, ensuring speedy delivery of content will probably be the sites biggest challenge.
+
+Joost should be out of its limited beta test phase later this year, though now specific date has been given.
