Yea, so it's like TV that streams and has instant messaging laid over. Hopefully it will have loads of obscure shit and canceled shows. This is me pandering for an invite. Anyone got one? Title: Re: Joost.com - Distributed Community TV Or Sommat Post by: Signe on May 06, 2007, 06:06:32 AM You can buy them on ebay for like two bucks. It might be a trap, though.

Don't buy noncorporeal things on Ebay. Title: Re: Joost.com - Distributed Community TV Or Sommat Post by: Evil Elvis on May 06, 2007, 12:54:24 PM http://freetube.us.tc/
Title: Re: Joost.com - Distributed Community TV Or Sommat Post by: schild on May 06, 2007, 12:59:10 PM Evil Elvis, the point wasn't to get free TV. I have no problem whatsoever doing that. I actually want to see what Joost's software is about.
Title: Re: Joost.com - Distributed Community TV Or Sommat Post by: Evil Elvis on May 06, 2007, 01:11:33 PM Can't help you there. I'm not too interested in it.
You might be able to get an invite here though: http://digg.com/apple/Joost_goes_live_gets_unlimited_invites Title: Re: Joost.com - Distributed Community TV Or Sommat Post by: Flood on May 06, 2007, 02:38:55 PM Yea not to be vague but I think I saw something on Lifehacker (http://lifehacker.com) about Joost recently. Title: Re: Joost.com - Distributed Community TV Or Sommat Post by: schild on May 06, 2007, 02:50:36 PM I should really do the right thing and censor out any word associated with Gawker Media.
Title: Re: Joost.com - Distributed Community TV Or Sommat Post by: Etro on May 06, 2007, 04:50:19 PM I have joost and i have to say its not as good as the hype, invite on its way to you schild.
says i have 999 invites (how generous) so pm me your email if you want one. Title: Re: Joost.com - Distributed Community TV Or Sommat Post by: schild on May 06, 2007, 11:31:47 PM Free is a step in the right direction.
Unfortunately they're like 2 years behind on video quality. I'd rather watch shit on Youtube. Though it was nice to see Stella on demand. This is another example of a well-funded company doing things half-assed. When they can provide video that rivals the quality of what I can download in a matter of minutes, then they'll have something.

Title: Re: Joost.com - Distributed Community TV Or Sommat Post by: Miasma on May 09, 2007, 11:20:19 AM Hahaha, "please tell us what YOU might have done to cause this error". I've got to put that bit of attitude into all of my 500 internal server error messages from now on.
Title: Re: Joost.com - Distributed Community TV Or Sommat Post by: HaemishM on May 09, 2007, 11:27:36 AM I tried it. Not much of a selection of interesting programs just in the first 20 minutes or so I looked at it.
Title: Re: Joost.com - Distributed Community TV Or Sommat Post by: WindupAtheist on May 09, 2007, 10:16:17 PM Short, snarky, meaningless name. Product concept seemingly arrived at via Mad Libs. Oh yeah, this is going places. There's nothing like watching small crappy renditions of old TV shows, and adding that new-fangled "instant messaging" technology is bound to make anything a hit. Now you can watch Mama's Family while pretending to be Whoopi Goldberg in Jumpin' Jack Flash.
Title: Re: Joost.com - Distributed Community TV Or Sommat Post by: Krakrok on May 09, 2007, 11:12:01 PM Whoopi Goldberg in Jumpin' Jack Flash. Funny you should mention that. It was on last night on some satellite channel. |
