Got Joost? I do, and I hope to be writing about it soon…

by Brad Grier on January 17, 2007

in Social Media

Like so many other pop-tech folk, I imme­di­ately jumped on The Venice Pro­ject (they’ve since changed the name to Joost) site when it became clear that this was a TV for the inter­net pro­ject by the same folks who are chan­ging the rules for inter­net tele­phony; Skype.

My beta test invit­a­tion arrived today, so that means I’ll be try­ing Joost tonight.

Hope­fully, I’ll be able to dis­cuss the ser­vice here shortly, but I’ve got one ques­tion so far, how do you pro­nounce that name?

I had a friend with that name, and he pronounced it to rhyme with toast.

Ping me if you can get Amazing Race through this service. It’s the only thing I miss about TV.

Begging begins….
I heard that those with great powers can invite others… If so please, pretty please, can you invite me…

That sounds neat! Thank you for passing that on. I look forward to hearing more!

Gurj, it seems to be true that invites are available. There’s a ‘credit’ system in place to grant invites, and I have no credit yet :-(

I think Joost is cool.

I am from South Africa and have recently only learnt of Joost. I have signed up to become a beta-tester, however, in order to really get a chance at testing Joost, you need to be invited by a beta-tester who already is testing it.

I am putting my feelers out to all in the hope that a lucky beta-tester would consider inviting me. Thank you in advance to anyone who would consider.
