These sites rely on software that enlarges the interface so that it fills your computer screen -- from edge to edge. This new wave of applications is led by Joost and includes VeohTV and Babelgum. Though all are in beta phases, the hype has been mounting -- leading many to claim the next big advance in online video is imminent.
