In case you hadn't heard, it's a little bit easier to get your hands on a Joost invite these days. We've blogged about the new "TV on the net" program, Joost, before but we just got the chance to try it out for ourselves.
All-in-all, it's a pretty nice little program, allowing you to watch a variety of television shows right from your computer. It's interface is straightforward and attractive, and even has a chat widgit for you and your friends to chat over what you're watching. We get a bit of lag when we first start up a show, but it quickly recovers and runs flawlessly (so far.)
We're not overly impressed with the programming options right now, but we anticipate it will get better. Right now, you can watch the entire last season of Laguna Beach or some reality shows that we've never seen and probably air on some cable channel at 2am. But we also saw some interesting alternative programming from the Healthy Living channel,
Lime. We're not sure about the details for PC compatability, but if you're on a Mac you'll need an intel one to make this work. And, of course, we know you'd probably like to try Joost out for yourself and we're willing to share. We'll personally send out invites to the first 20 commenters that ask and we only request that you return the favor by helping us share Joost with the rest of the AT community.
Ooooh, I'd love to be Jooster! Please, please, please gimmie an invite!

I've tried sending an invite to everyone above. Hope you all enjoy it, and please help out if there are any other ATers who would like a code. Enjoy, I noticed that MTV added a bunch more programming today.

For everyone interested in this program, check out the website http://www.tv-link.co.uk. I promise I don't work for them and I'm not trying to get them more hits, so just trust me--it's an awesome website!!!

Thank you so much for the invite Kelly!
I sent one to the couple of people that requested them after Kelly sent them out. Enjoy!
There are a few cooking segments that I've watched so far, it's pretty neat and it only pauses for a second once every 5 minutes or so with my wireless.

I got my invite, yay, thanks!!
I installed it, but I'm confused! It is showing up in my dashboard, but there's no activity. I can't even remove it from my dashboard either.

Okay, I'm number 40, but I'd love an invite...so maybe someone above me hasn't answered and you have an extra invite to toss my way...
my email is
naughtydog @ comcast . net
Thanks and I hope I sounded pitiful enough, but not too pitiful.

Rachel, I had the same problem. They upgraded Joost in the past few days (since I first downloaded at least ), so you need to go back to the site and re-download it. For some reason it seems they de-activate the older version when they upgrade...

I would like an invite too. junkster71@hotmail.com,Thanks

I promise to change my life, respect my neigbor, drive the speed limit, shower daily, start an intensive workout program and stop having loveless sex, on the chance that some kind and agreeable member will invite me to join Joost.
Yours in Christ, Buddah, Abraham, Einstein and Hunter S. Thompson...
