Dear friends,
I have invites to share for the Joost internet TV beta. Leave you email address in the comments if you’d like one.
It’s a neat thing. The video and sound quality are both on par with the abc.com and Fox/myspace streams. They’ll play a commercial a couple of times per half hour while you’re watching. I think if you leave the program running in your system tray it’ll pop up ads when you’re not watching TV, but no one says you have to leave the tray icon running.
Channel selection is broad, but there’s no network affiliation yet. Even so, there’s a good chunk of comedy central, adult swim, and national geographic (oh boy!). The developers say they’re in talks with the major networks, so we’ll see how that goes.
Joost linkage for more information. (For what it’s worth, I don’t think you really need an invite from me, but there is a social network aspect to this thing so who knows.)
