So what did you think of Joost?

Did it work for you? How was the selection of channels? Did you have any problems installing it?

Is it overrated? Will it kick YouTube and Google Video back to the Stone Age?

Perhaps David Lumerman usability test can give you some inspiration.

Giving Away Joost Inviations

Published at 7 May, 2007 in Beta and Joost. 22 Comments

I’ve been a Joost beta tester since autumn and from time to time I get several beta invitations to sent out.

So right now I have four invitations waiting to be mailed. Until now I’ve given them to my friends but I thought I would try to give some away through my blog.

So the first four to post a comment will get an invitation, that shouldn’t keep you from commenting though since I will get a new bunch of invitations again.
