Get a Joost invite

Published on Wednesday, May 30th, 2007

Updated June 18th

As I won’t be following the comments here anymore, I recommend you to get your invites through the Joost GigaOM invitations page. I’ve asked Joost for a page of my own, but still haven’t heard from them, so I’m sorry…

You can always write a comment here, and if I ocassionally read the comments here, I will send an invitation, but please don’t count on it.

Want to test Joost to watch streaming TV over the Internet, but haven’t got an invite? Write a comment with a valid e-mail address, and I’ll send one to you!
