Skype, Kazaa founders do a Youtube

SKYPE FOUNDERS Niklas Zennstrom and Janus Friis, who also miffed the music industry with the popular file-sharing website Kazaa, have named their latest web-telly service Joost.

Naturally, webterpreneurs feel they have to make up new words for their offerings so they can better protect them. Mind you, a quick google (vb) reveals some Joosts oot and aboot already.

Labelled a youtube-alike, the pair's hired hands reckon the video service will offer the "best of TV and the best of the internet" while remaining "piracy-proof".

Joost CEO Fredrik de Wahl, said the service would give film makers a way of distributing their wares over the web. He reckons the service will "marry" consumer desire with the industry's interests.

There's a beta version you can try out on the site here. µ
