Finally Got Joost

I finally got my Joost invite last Friday, and I was pretty pumped. After all the buzz, and seeing all those other people scrounging for invites in other bloggers' comments section, I was finally invited on to the other side of the velvet rope.

My impression from using it over the weekend was a little dissapointing. The picture quality wasn't what I was expecting, Some shows took almost a whole minute to load up, and they would randomly stop streaming and refresh for a good 30 seconds or so. If they really want to build a platform that will bring TV to the internet, It shouldn't be constantly reminding me that I'm... watching TV on the Internet.

THEN, this morning I got an email saying that version .9.0.1 was "off the air" due to not being able to predict complications with blah blah blah and I'd have to download .9.0.2, the newest version in order to watch Joost..

Downloaded the newest version... Still doesn't work... My views on Joost, and IPTV in general, are dropping by the minute. ::sad face::

Update: Sorry Folks, I wasn't actually given any invites just yet. I'll pass 'em out once I get some... but don't have anything to offer just yet.
But joost does seem to be back online this morning. Now off to watch the new Diddy/Christina video...

Waiting for my Joost invite

I've been patiently waiting for a while now for my Joost Beta test invite to go through, but so far... no luck.

But I DID get a teaser email letting me know that it is not too far off!

Here is the email:

Hi Jameson Bull,

This is just to let you know that we haven't forgotten your request to try Joost. We're now speeding up the process of adding testers and we'll shortly be inviting everyone who has signed up to try Joost.

This includes you, so expect an invite within the next couple of weeks - in the meantime, thanks for bearing with us - we appreciate it.

See you soon on Joost!

This is my first BlipTV test video to see exactly how easy posting video on the net is.
