Invitation to Joost


I’m a participant of the Joost beta best and have currently one free beta invite that I can freely give away to one of my readers. To make it fair for everyone I have decided to select one of the readers who replies to this thread today. This ensures that everyone has the same chance to win the Joost beta invitation. I will be getting more invites as the Joost beta progresses and will give them away as well. I probably should start to describe the service that Joost offers before I announce how you can win the beta invitation to Joost.

joost logoJoost is one of the few services that sprang up lately that want to offer tv experience over the internet. You download their client and can watch the shows that they offer using a broadband internet connection. The main advantage over television is the fact that it is more interactive with features such as searching, rating shows and chat functionality.

Video Playback is done in full screen which looks ok, it is definitely not hd quality but the quality is enough to enjoy the movie.

joostjoostThe current list of programs and shows is rather small which can surely be attributed to the ongoing beta test which does not require the latest tv shows. You get to see some documentations, sports and game shows which is a good start but can be viewed elsewhere on the internet as well.

I wish everyone best of luck, may the luckiest one win the beta invitation ;)

Update: Well this post has been covered by Technoratis Buzz TV, check it out if you like. Thanks Aaron for the coverage and the reminder by email.

    Full screen streaming video? Uuaahh, I need to try that!! :-D

  2. CHR says:

    Well, what can I say, Joost seems quite interesting. Worth a try, I guess. In other words: I just need that invitation!

  3. runge says:

    This looks very nice! Especially because i have no TV in my student residence at the moment. I can’t wait to try it.

  4. ktolis says:

    I wish it plays well on my iBook G4 :(

  5. Phen says:

    I’ll trade you this for an oil massage at my spa in Bangkok

  6. Aivo says:

    I’ve used TVUplayer for a little while now, but this it does lack any real features I’d like to see in a broadband TV program. Count me in though.

  7. Rafik says:

    I’d be honored to accept the invite :) I am just a poor medical student at the moment anyways.

  8. Jan-Helge says:

    Hi, been reading your blog for some time, always interesting. And Joost is something I’d really like to try out, so let’s see if I get lucky :)

  9. Eric says:

    *throws hat in ring for the invite*
    Could this be the next GMail “I Need An Invite” fad?
    *checks eBay*

  10. Kanchi_r0b0t says:

    Just signed up for the beta. This seems like it could be a really good service.

  11. shanyz says:

    Luck and Me?? nah..
    anyways as usual lets try. I can only thank you if i could have an invite.

  12. Dunhill says:

    I would like an invite to try it from Cape Town. Is it bandwidth friendly? We live with an ADSL cap of 3GB!

  13. wile_coyote7 says:

    Me! Me! Ooh Ooh, pick Me! Me! Me! Me! Me! Me! Me!

    If you want.

    :)

  14. Benamed says:

    I’m sure i’m going to like this service. It would be nice if I could test it also :)

  15. Roel says:

    I’ve signed up for the beta a while ago, but it could take a long time before I get an invitation. Maybe this is a quicker way :)

  16. bill says:

    please allow me to use this beta. If I get any invites to give away I’ll give them back to the readers here.

  17. Max says:

    I would like an invite please.

  18. Lyle says:

    Count me in too! I’ve been wanting to check this out for a while now. Canceled Dish a long time ago as I end up playing WoW more often than not, but missing the tube a bit…

  19. RobertC says:

    I just got out of Military training and being shipped to Iraq, this would be reallly useful.. Pick Mmmmeeeee

  20. Andre says:

    I signed for beta a while ago and still nothing….. Hook it UP!!!! Thanks….:)

  21. Andre says:

    Ok, if you get joost you can invite 1 person right?? We could mutually help on another in this list, you give it to me, i give for the person above me, and so on…. JOOST DO IT!!!!

  22. runge says:

    If you really get an invitation possibility as soon as you are a beta tester it would be a good idea to go down the list if everybody helps!

  23. waldwicht says:

    Joost is very cool, but it needs some more content. I dont want any music videos on Joost. I like the “Strongman” channel.

  24. irish says:

    I too signed up to be part of beta testing but have never been sent an invite. As a few in this thread have said, once one of us gets an invite we pass them on to each other here!
    Joost looks like it could be a great new application and when you do give it a run, let us know what it’s like for those of us who are not so lucky to get a chance to beta test it.

  25. KsE says:

    Looks nice, wouldnt mind trying it. Thanks for the offer.

  26. parikrama says:

    Bye

  27. Nick says:

    A chance for the invitation?!?

  28. Martin says:

    Dunhill, you are the winner. I’m going to sent the invitation to your email address. It would be nice if you could use possible invites to invite other members as well.

    Let me know if you can spare any and I give you a new email address that should be invited.

  29. Dan says:

    I’d like one too…
    Thanks.

  30. joe says:

    well,you never know if you never try.Please count me in receiving this invite.joe

  31. Dunhill says:

  60. faisal says:

    Hi … I might be bit late to ask for joost invitation but I only would say that if I were you, i would ask for joost invitation and then invite someone from this site. So that we can all eventually invite each other and as a result everyone in this site would have invitation.

  61. 85thor says:

    As before, it takes a first name, last name and an email to receive an invite. Either post it here or send that info to someone offering invites to their email. arty85@gmail.com

  65. johnnymickey says:

    Hi, I’m probably way too late for that invite to joost. But you said there would be more later?
    There is an old Irish proverb that “sometimes the late hound can be luckey”

  66. rosaura serramalera says:

    I would like to try it too !! Thanks a lot

  67. Martin says:

    All invites have been send out, enjoy

  68. 85thor says:

    As before, it takes a First Name, Last Name and an Email Address to receive an invite. Either post that info here or send that info to someone offering invites to their email. My email is: arty85@gmail.com
    Among those I have sent invites to here are: Threet, Clark, Smith, Hardister, Zimmer, Weaver, Marshall, Silva, Khalifa, Murad, and Kolbert who posted their info here or sent an email to me with it. First name, last name and your email are required.

  69. Max says:

    I think at this late date, all i could hope for is to ask for a connection to the winning applicant to see if they are going to ‘Pay It Forward.’

    Great idea you had here!

    PAX,

    Have sent invites to all of those who have given me all of their info.

    Such as: John Doe jdoe@email.com
    With just one name or no name and just an email will not work.

    Christian is one name, Ges is one name, Max is one name and rosaura serramalera had no email address. I don’t mind sending the invites but I need all 3 pieces of info in order to do it.
