I have Joost invites!

Posted by Matthew on April 17, 2007 at 7:02 pm

Joost logoAfter being a member of the Joost beta test for a couple of weeks, they have graced me with three invitations to hand out to friends.

For those of you not aware, Joost is a free internet TV service. It is the beginning of what many of us have hoped for throughout the years: truly on-demand TV. There’s a list of channels, you click on a channel, and then you click on the show you want to watch. It starts when you want it, whenever you want it. There’s already a significant number of channels available, from Comedy Central to National Geographic to MTV. While you won’t find every show from those channels’ regular lineups on Joost just yet, there’s good stuff on there now and the content is growing every week.

If you’re interested, just post a comment here (don’t post your email address in the main comment body so the world can see it — just fill out the comment form correctly or register and I’ll get it from my database). First three to reply get invites!

Update: all invites have been handed out.

Your invite has been sent, Drew!

FYI for everyone else, ideally I need both your first and last name to fill out the Joost invite form, in addition to the valid email.

Hey Matt,
I would also love an invite to check it out. Sounds really cool. How long until the release to the general public?

Hmmm.. Interesting program. I think it has great potential but still has a long way to go.

I couldn’t watch a video completely through without it stopping. I was so disappointed I couldn’t watch my “favorite” show Laguna Beach.

They are going to have to reallllllly beef up there bandwidth to support the kind of scale of market they are trying to hit.

Yeah they have a heavy load at times. I had trouble getting through a couple shows without restarting it, and I know it’s not on my end because I’ve got a 15Mb line. However, I’ve had good luck with most of the shows. On the whole it’s pretty good I think for the first real Internet-TV-on-demand service. It is still in beta, after all.
