What Do You Think Of Joost?


I’ve been using Joost for a day now and I’m very, very impressed (get a Joost invite). Joost is a service that I could easily spend an evening using, which would never happen with YouTube. Joost definitely takes online video to the next level in my view.

Over 50 Connected Internet readers received invites yesterday, including many who I’ve never seen before (where have you guys been hiding?!). What do you guys think of Joost?

The clinchers for me are the full-screen high-quality video and the breadth of quality content available, like music videos and full TV shows. The video looked pretty good even on my big TV. Whereas, with YouTube I would probably only use it for a few minutes at a time to watch a few videos, and then I get bored.

I think what Joost have got right is delivering a sit-back online video service that matches the way that people are used to watching TV. With Joost the content just keeps coming and it can be left running in the background, and you don’t have to keep selecting a new video every couple of minutes like you do with YouTube.

  • hi i am just trying to find out about joost

    I like the content, the delivery method, and most of the user controls. I don't mind the small pop up ads, but I would like to be able to skip full commercials.

    The interface is also still a little bit glitchy too...

    When Joost is minimized, the only sign that it is still open is the system tray - no open application shows at the bootom of the screen. And my keyboard volume controls seem to work the Joost interface now, but directly, bypassing the Windows Control Panel volume control.

    Still, I like the idea of over the top video programming so much that I hope the product improvements continue.

  • No, because out of the 300 or so invites I sent only about 3 people bothered to share their invites and only about 4 people bothered to say thank so
  • What's happening with regards to invites? Are you still giving these out?
