Joost releases ‘Friends’ version to open up the ongoing beta test

by Brad Grier on May 11, 2007

in Social Media

Amidst the recent news about Joost’s con­tent deals with Sony, Time Warner, the NHL and Has­bro, Joost has also popped open the pub­lic beta a little wider: They’ve launched the Joost Friends ver­sion.

Pre­vi­ously, beta test­ers were occa­sion­ally given invite tokens which they could hand to oth­ers, invit­ing them into the test.

Now, with this upgrade, cur­rent beta test­ers have an unlim­ited num­ber of friends invites.

 

Be part of the show

  • Chat with friends and other fans while you watch
  • You’re the critic — rate and debate the shows you love and hate
  • Build your own playl­ists and channels

So, if you’re inter­ested, let me know and I’ll do what I can to get an invite your way.

Hi – also keen to give it a try but does it run on non-intel based macs? I saw something on the joost site suggesting it was only for PC’s and intel based macs.

love an invite if possible.

Hey Brad,

Came across your blog while doing some research on Joost. If you’ve got an invite to spare, I’d love to get hooked in.

On a side note, I was checking out your Linked In profile and wouldn’t mind getting in touch. I do some web work here in the city as well. Feel free to add me to your connections – my email should come up with the posting.

Cheers

So could you please, please send me an invitation. I’m realy excited about this new possibilties and would be very grateful if You could give me the chance to experience this adventure.
