Invitation to Joost

Mar 1, 2007

Updated • May 30, 2013

I'm a user 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.You are probably wondering about Joost and what it is all about before you decide whether you want to participate or not.

Joost is a new service on the Internet that aims to provide you with a better-than-TV experience on the Internet. You download their client to watch the shows that they offer using a broadband internet connection. The main advantage over television is the fact that it is more interactive as it integrates features such as search, discussion and chat or show ratings right on the screen.

Video Playback is done in full screen which looks ok. It is definitely not HD quality but the quality is good 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 access to 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.

Update 2: Joost has been taken offline for now, neither the TV client nor the website are functional right now. There is still a slight chance that it will come back at a later time as the site operators published on their site that the service has been paused and not completely abandoned.

Full screen streaming video? Uuaahh, I need to try that!! :-D
CHR said on March 1, 2007 at 11:58 am


Well, what can I say, Joost seems quite interesting. Worth a try, I guess. In other words: I just need that invitation!
runge said on March 1, 2007 at 11:58 am


This looks very nice! Especially because i have no TV in my student residence at the moment. I can’t wait to try it.
ktolis said on March 1, 2007 at 12:24 pm


I wish it plays well on my iBook G4 :(
Phen said on March 1, 2007 at 12:34 pm


I’ll trade you this for an oil massage at my spa in Bangkok
Aivo said on March 1, 2007 at 12:49 pm


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.
Rafik said on March 1, 2007 at 1:37 pm


I’d be honored to accept the invite :) I am just a poor medical student at the moment anyways.
Jan-Helge said on March 1, 2007 at 3:18 pm


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 :)
Eric said on March 1, 2007 at 3:35 pm


*throws hat in ring for the invite*
Could this be the next GMail “I Need An Invite” fad?
*checks eBay*
Kanchi_r0b0t said on March 1, 2007 at 3:41 pm


Just signed up for the beta. This seems like it could be a really good service.
shanyz said on March 1, 2007 at 3:48 pm


Luck and Me?? nah..
anyways as usual lets try. I can only thank you if i could have an invite.
Dunhill said on March 1, 2007 at 4:59 pm


I would like an invite to try it from Cape Town. Is it bandwidth friendly? We live with an ADSL cap of 3GB!
wile_coyote7 said on March 1, 2007 at 5:09 pm


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

If you want.

:)
Benamed said on March 1, 2007 at 5:49 pm


I’m sure i’m going to like this service. It would be nice if I could test it also :)
Roel said on March 1, 2007 at 6:24 pm


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 :)
bill said on March 1, 2007 at 6:28 pm


please allow me to use this beta. If I get any invites to give away I’ll give them back to the readers here.
Max said on March 1, 2007 at 7:20 pm


I would like an invite please.
Lyle said on March 1, 2007 at 7:27 pm


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…
RobertC said on March 1, 2007 at 7:56 pm


I just got out of Military training and being shipped to Iraq, this would be reallly useful.. Pick Mmmmeeeee
Andre said on March 1, 2007 at 8:07 pm


I signed for beta a while ago and still nothing….. Hook it UP!!!! Thanks….:)
Andre said on March 1, 2007 at 8:12 pm


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!!!!
runge said on March 1, 2007 at 8:54 pm


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!
waldwicht said on March 1, 2007 at 9:06 pm


Joost is very cool, but it needs some more content. I dont want any music videos on Joost. I like the “Strongman” channel.
irish said on March 2, 2007 at 12:31 am


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.
KsE said on March 2, 2007 at 1:38 am


Looks nice, wouldnt mind trying it. Thanks for the offer.
parikrama said on March 2, 2007 at 11:17 am


Hi
Joost…That sounds like something i will need to boost my online viewing.
Sounds interesting though..
Bye

Nick said on March 2, 2007 at 12:44 pm


A chance for the invitation?!?
Martin said on March 2, 2007 at 7:22 pm


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.
Dan said on March 3, 2007 at 2:22 pm


I’d like one too…
Thanks.
joe said on March 3, 2007 at 8:44 pm


well,you never know if you never try.Please count me in receiving this invite.joe
Dunhill said on March 5, 2007 at 11:42 am


Martin, thanks for the the invitation. I will write an short article about it later this month.

I don’t have invitations yet, but I will let you know when I revieve one.

Hi, I’ve been looking for a Joost invite for about a month now… I’m willing to pay you $10USD (paypal) for it, as long as it’s not expired. (I’ve heard rumors that all invites are expired as of March 23, and won’t be distributed again until the public release)
85thor said on March 25, 2007 at 10:26 pm


As of now all invites are gone. BUT, they are saying soon a new offering is coming.

Martin said on May 3, 2007 at 8:08 am


Wow, everyone got their invite as of now. It took some time to invite each one on this list because the way to invite users is inside the software and not a website.
courtinfroggy said on May 3, 2007 at 3:59 pm


I like stuff…Where’s my stuff?
malko said on May 3, 2007 at 11:34 pm

faisal said on May 4, 2007 at 4:52 pm


Hi â€¦ 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.
85thor said on May 7, 2007 at 6:11 am


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. [email protected]
Piotr Kolbert said on May 12, 2007 at 5:42 am


Hello, I would like to try joost. Please send me an invitation to [email protected] ,Thanks.

85thor said on May 14, 2007 at 8:44 am


kostas (Only one name?)

Have sent invites to all of those who have given me their info.
johnnymickey said on May 18, 2007 at 1:01 pm


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”
rosaura serramalera said on May 19, 2007 at 1:58 pm


I would like to try it too !! Thanks a lot
Martin said on May 19, 2007 at 2:47 pm


All invites have been send out, enjoy
85thor said on May 19, 2007 at 4:49 pm


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: [email protected]
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.
Max said on May 23, 2007 at 4:17 pm


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,
=max=
Tom Fanato said on May 29, 2007 at 3:48 pm

85thor said on May 29, 2007 at 7:35 pm


Tom Fanato
Please read in above posts what is needed to be sent an invite. Anyone wanting an invite needs to give a first and last name and an email. Post here or send that info to my email or anyone else offering invites. Invites are sent by email. My email is posted in above posts.

Hi there,

I would like to experience Joost. Could anyone here kindly send me an invite? My email address is [email protected]

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

Such as: John Doe [email protected]
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.
Lenny Houlker said on June 4, 2007 at 11:32 pm


I would like an invite to Joost to see what it is about.

Thanks
