I have been beta testing Joost over the last few weeks. As a result I now have 5 invites to give away. If you are really interested in beta testing Joost then please get in touch. Friends will obviously be at the top of the list.
My experiences of Joost during beta have been mixed but generally I've found the service to be extremely good. The interface is excellent, and it all works just as you expect it should. Whoever is doing the HCI work needs a whole-hearted pat on the back. The streaming can be a bit tempermental, but it isn't surprising considering the increasing load. One of the issues I think they have is that although Joost minimises and still peers as a system tray application when in stand-by, people have a tendency to close the application down completely.
Content really is the next thing. The content on Joost is growing, and I look forward to Joost increasing their portfolio of content providers. I'd love to see a good news channel on Joost. Maybe the BBC might be interested!
Update: All the 5 invites have now been assigned. To be honest I was surprised by the level of interest. I have simply invited people in the chronological order in which they asked me. Apologies to everyone who didn't get one. If I get assigned any more invites the people who have already asked will be first ones on the list.

Hello Ben,
Do you still have a Joost invite? I know 4 lucky readers have received one and i was wondering whether the last invite you have is still available?
I'll keep my fingers crossed..........!
Keep up the good blogging

I would love to test joost. I have seen some other internet tv services and they seem pretty lame by comparison. If you get more invites, please add me to your list. You can e-mail me at tdoref@hotmail.com. Thanks ever so much!
Hi, Ben!
Thanks ever so much for the invite to Joost! It appears to be so much better than other services I have seen! It is running a little slowly on my Dell laptop, but I am sure it has something to do with the video card being a tad slower than recommended. I can't wait to see how it runs when my new computer gets here! Thanks again!
