joost beta - invites available

[Frederik Hermann]

with big thanks to kosmar i'm part of the joost beta testing phase right now.

"joost is a new way of watching tv on the internet. with joost, you get all the things you love about tv, including a high-quality full-screen picture, hundreds of full-length shows and easy channel-flipping. you get great internet features too, such as search, chat and instant messaging, built right into the program - so you find shows quickly and talk to your friends while you watch. and with no schedules to worry about, you can watch whatever you want, whenever you like - as often as you want. joost is completely free, and works with most modern pcs and intel mac-based computers with a broadband connection. get joost today!"

i was playing around with it for a little while and i have to say that i am impressed, it's fullscreen free television on your computer, great quality and a wide range of channels and programs to choose from (screenshots on flickr).



joost is in beta right now and you need an invitation to try it out. i still have a couple of invites left, so if you want to participate, just drop me an email at 'netzkobold [at] gmail [dot] com' with the subject 'joost invite'.
