Yesterday we were The Venice Project... today we are Joost!

The folks from The Venice Project, who brought us Skype, have changed their product name to Joost. They are on the cusp of expanding the beta invitations to include more people so sign up for the beta list. The screens look pretty interesting and apparently more and more features are being added in each iteration of the product. Stay tuned...

While we’re still in beta, we hope that Joost will become synonymous with the best of TV and the best of the Web. We’re working on putting more content on the platform and creating more and more applications and functionality. For those of you who’ve already been on the client, you can expect to see some of these updates in the 0.8 release - which is not far away at all. Now that we’re Joost, we’re going to be sending out many more beta invitations. I know some of you have been waiting quite some time for your invitation and I appreciate your patience. We’ve been somewhat conservative about expanding our beta - but that’s going to change pretty rapidly now. So please keep a lookout for your invitation if you haven’t gotten one already. And when you do receive it - please tell us what you think. I have to say, we have an absolutely amazing team at Joost, and I include our beta testers as part of that team. Beta tester feedback on the platform has been so incredibly valuable. We’ve incorporated a lot of it into the platform - making it that much better. So please, keep it coming! Stay tuned.
