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.…

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.
