Joost Beta Invites

Joost Beta Tester

I've been a closed beta tester for the P2P streaming video/TV application Joost since back in February. In March I was given a few invites that I passed out to close friends and family. The response to the application from my invitees was generally good though I think we all could agree it needed some more channels (and still does). Nevertheless, there's some good content on there and I'm sure there will be a lot more available when Joost exits the beta phase and is available for public access.

Joost is now allowing existing beta testers to invite a lot more people to try it out so if you haven't had an invite for it yet and would like one just email me (if you know my address) or use the contact me form on this site. All I need from you is an email address for the invite to be sent to.

I thought an RSS feed would be handy so I spent some time yesterday and today writing a PHP script to generate one from the site data already available. :)
