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
