Joost - new internet TV service
review from ClifNotes, Apr 2007, permalink Web Service
I'm not big on watching stuff online, but I can't resist trying out new services. Joost is supposed to be the next best thing to television, so I signed up for beta testing. I downloaded it the other day and started watching some old cartoons there. The video was very nice full screen with just a few stalls. The interface is ok, but I thought it was just a little bit too busy and confusing.
I'm suppose to be able to invite other people to try it out. If you are interested, comment below to tell me. I'll try to figure out how to invite other folks.

Later I went to the Joost forums and found out how to invite people.
How do I invite people?
Invitations are sent using the Invite Friends widget, as follows. Start Joost, click on My Joost and you will see the widget. Make sure that you have not run out of invitations, and then fill in your friend's contact details. They will then receive their invitation by email, including full instructions on how to install and register.
I fired up Joost and opened up the invitation widget. I had no invitations to give. So I went back to the forums and found an answer about that.

There will be more invitations soon, don't worry.
We are preparing many things inside the system to please all of you, once they're done we will give more invitations... through the invitation widget.
Apparently, It will be at least a week before I get any invitations at all. After that, I'll start giving them out as I receive them. I guess we'll all have to be patient
