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 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.
The 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 ;)

Full screen streaming video? Uuaahh, I need to try that!! :-D
Well, what can I say, Joost seems quite interesting. Worth a try, I guess. In other words: I just need that invitation!
This looks very nice! Especially because i have no TV in my student residence at the moment. I can’t wait to try it.
I wish it plays well on my iBook G4 :(
I’ll trade you this for an oil massage at my spa in Bangkok
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.
I’d be honored to accept the invite :) I am just a poor medical student at the moment anyways.
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 :)
*throws hat in ring for the invite*
Could this be the next GMail “I Need An Invite” fad?
*checks eBay*
Just signed up for the beta. This seems like it could be a really good service.
Luck and Me?? nah..
anyways as usual lets try. I can only thank you if i could have an invite.
I would like an invite to try it from Cape Town. Is it bandwidth friendly? We live with an ADSL cap of 3GB!
Me! Me! Ooh Ooh, pick Me! Me! Me! Me! Me! Me! Me!
If you want.
:)
I’m sure i’m going to like this service. It would be nice if I could test it also :)
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 :)
please allow me to use this beta. If I get any invites to give away I’ll give them back to the readers here.
I would like an invite please.
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…
I just got out of Military training and being shipped to Iraq, this would be reallly useful.. Pick Mmmmeeeee
I signed for beta a while ago and still nothing….. Hook it UP!!!! Thanks….:)
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!!!!
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!
Joost is very cool, but it needs some more content. I dont want any music videos on Joost. I like the “Strongman” channel.
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.
Looks nice, wouldnt mind trying it. Thanks for the offer.
Hi
Joost…That sounds like something i will need to boost my online viewing.
Sounds interesting though..
Bye
PK
A chance for the invitation?!?
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.
I’d like one too…
Thanks.
well,you never know if you never try.Please count me in receiving this invite.joe
