Joost

Joost™

I have been accepted as a Joost beta tester. Although I am no fan of TV (in fact, I only get 3 stations) Joosts looks very promising because it is TV 2.0. With features including ratings, Jabber compatible instant messaging, and custom channels it brings many features of social media to TV. However, just what is Joost?

Joostâ„¢ is a new way of watching TV on the internet, which uses new and established technologies to provide the best of both the internet and TV worlds. #

So far, there isn’t very much programming available. In the future, I would love to see some comedy since this is the only type of TV that I enjoy watching. On the technical side, tagging would also be a very cool feature. All in all, Joost shows promise as a very cool program/service. Oh, and the UI rocks.

Currently, I don’t have any invitations to give out!

    I would love it if you could send me an invite! I have been watching and waiting for this thing as soon as heard about it on engadget as the Venice project.

    I just looked at the application page. So invitations are just a shorter way to the same thing?

    As of yet, I still haven’t gotten any invitations. Apparently, Joost is being extremely restrictive in the number it sends out. I applied months ago - just to be accepted this week. I advise you to apply yourself but don’t get your hopes up - an invitation will definitely be faster (once I get some). There is lots of buzz around Joost - so the acceptance rate is relatively low.
