A Beta TV called Joost

TV the way it will be

Finally received an invite to participate in a little Joost up TV. Subsequently I've been watching a beta Joost. This thing is not only the future of TV but the future of Entertainment. I didn't get the invite from Joost though, I was referred using e-beg. Simliar to eBay except you wander forums begging for an invite and the more creative you are with your posting the better chance of receiving an invite via email which is kind of like a wormhole to the future in a referral link. The future of TV that is.

Enjoy this promotional video for Joost to get your tongues wagging and just hope that you have a techy friend in the know to send an invite your way. Otherwise you can use e-beg on a forum. I went to this one: Joost Forums and posted this poem:

I am thirsty for Joost.
I need vitamin TV please.
Certainly a Boost.
Beta than Full Release.

And after somebody sent me an invite I added this:

I just got an invite
But not of this board
I'll leave you to fight
Until you become bored.

Sorry for teasing you with all this but I really think it has loads of promise.



The Best Way to Get a Joost Invite
It's called Google for a reason but that's not relevant right now. What you wanna do is search in Google or I'm not obliged to say but search engine of your choice for a Joost related forum.

Try keywords like these Joost, Joost Invite, Joost Forum, Joost Beta Invite, Joost Invite Community, The Future is Joost and stuff along those lines.

Find one that looks decent and has been active and trawl for invites by putting your email [quenchyourthirst] [at] [joost.com] and if you trust the forum your First and Last name. You can use an alias because you can change your full name after you are registered and have it on your computer.

Or if you are a member of a forum just start a thread in a relevant topic and fish for people.

The other rarer option is that one of your friends has Joost. Which would be a lot easier.

Get Your Rare Dose of Vitamin C

Have a nice time finding an invite. I'll be watching the future on Joost, not the content just the program. First three people to leave an amusing comment will get a Joost Invite emailed to them as I gain them from using the programme. Leave email and First and Last Name.

Frank Zappa Defending Words circa. 1986

This is a video I came across a couple of years ago but it's always good for repeat viewings. Check it out. It's a long one so you might have to press play, pause it and let it load. 21 minutes long but worth the investment of your time.

Grand Theft Auto IV Trailer

You can check out the below video but it doesn't really do it justice. Head here for a better trailer experience.
