Joost Invites

Joostâ„¢ the best of tv and the internet

Ok, I’ve just been handed 999 Joost Invites. Anyone interested, leave me your email and I’ll be happy to send you an invite. For those with no idea what Joost is about, below is a great summary article courtesy of BLOGTHE.NET…

Joost, the Internet start-up created last year by the two co-founders of Skype, has just been launched commercially and it will feature programs from Turner Broadcasting and Hasbro among others.

Ianus Friis and Niklas Zellstrom, the two co-founders of Skype and the masterminds behind P2P sharing network Kazaa, initially named their endeavor The Venice Project, to later transform it into Joost (which should be pronounced juiced). The application uses the same principle as Kazaa or Skype, delivering content through the peer-to-peer technology.

After signing distribution contracts with giants like Viacom, CBS or Reuters, Joost recently announced that media behemoth Turner will also distribute some of its content freely on the Joost network, including channels like Adult Swim and CNN. Programming from Hasbro, the National Hockey League (NHL), Sports Illustrated (SI) and Sony Pictures Television (SPT) will also be available by the end of May.

For a more in depth article, here is the Wikipedia take on Joost.

    Hi guys,

    Rest assured I got your comments. I will not approve them to protect your emails from being spammed. I’ve got about 40 requests and I will honour them all. Problem is, I live in Australia and it’s time for me to shoot off to work.

    I posted this late last night – around 1:30am. To the ones who responded right away, they got an invite. To the rest of you, I’ll approve you when I get back today. It’s a bit of a tedious process to invite people as you have to do it one by one.

    Please send your friends over for requests, as you can see from the couple of comments above, I do send them out.

    Cheers
    LayGuy

    Hey lay guy,

    just stumbled onto your site from some pro-driscoll comments you made elsewhere. i think i may have seen you comment elsewhere b4 too.

    i’ve been really encouraged by driscoll and the ministry of mars hill.

    i’m from australia too. http://www.ccecyouth.com that’s my youth group. i’m the youth pastor.

    i went looking around your site for your email address to find out about getting a joost invite.

    i just read your post on what happened to you 10+ years ago. that’s crazy. i was quite moved. i prayed for you and your family.

    keep trusting in Jesus

    LOL – I’ve got 112 requests for Joost invites still to dish out. Guys I’m in Sydney right now on a Conference and I will send you guys an invite when I get back ok? Trust me, you will get one.

    Someone wrote to me saying how the heck did I get 999 invites? LOL I have no idea. Isn’t that what Joost now does to anyone? If not, it’s trully a X File!
