New Venice Project Name: ‘Joost’
The Venice Project can’t escape hype, with GigaOM and NewTeeVee no exception. Finally, the online television startup from the founders of Skype has a production name: Joost. Of course, the premature hype streak lives on, as that URL is still password protected.
We have some new screenshots below the jump.
At least now we can promise you no more posts on “the Venice Project” before it actually launches!
But…we did just get a new batch of beta invites, so what the heck, we’ll give them to the first five commenters.

[…] Old news on the blogosphere, but interesting nevertheless. One of the upcoming internet TV products, the Venice Project, has now been renamed Joost. Joost, as we explained earlier, is the latest from Skype founders Niklas Zennström and Janus Friis. As names go, I have to say that although Skype has a certain ring to it, Joost falls far short. Everytime I hear the name, I think of yeast, and if there is one thing I don’t want down my ADSL line, it’s this […]

[…] Liz Gannes of NewTeeVee was the first one to grab some screen shot of Joost, as i presume she might be one of the beta tester. Techcrunch has a story on this too, hell everyone blogger will have story on this within next 48 hours, Now imagine how big is the buzz created by this Venice Project Joost. For the screen shots you better visit Liz, as she was the first one to post that. […]

[…] Joost, nee The Venice Project, hasn’t even officially launched yet, so it would be premature to declare them the victors in bringing the television experience to an internet device near you. Plenty of other people are out there trying to figure out ways to use broadband to disrupt current distribution models and make some change in the process, including Silvio Scaglia. The founder of Fastweb and Omnitel has invested EU10 million in his own IPTV venture, Babelgum. […]

This should at least make the users who got one of the invites NewTeeVee handed out happy, and get Joost better press in the blogosphere (which often seems a bit skewed towards Mac users).

So let me be one of the first ones to claim the invite. Thanks.
screenshots look great. sign me up for one of those beta invites :)
Sign me up please thanks!!!!!
very interesting. i would love a beta invite!
Looks like it is shaping up to be a good product. Buy reminds me of look that MTV used to use.
I’ll take it if Attis didn’t technically claim his
Hello from Korea. the web 2.0 wave is so different in Korea… maybe we are ahead with a somewhat different approach? would love to have an invite.. i love new products.
I would like an invite as well please. More than happy to provide a detailed review in exchange.
All the best,
James Harris

Ok, just sent out a batch of invites to all of you fast commenters.
May I have an invite, please? Thank you!
If you have any extra invites, feel free to throw one my way.
Thanks in advance (even if you don’t)
It sure sounds revolutionary but lets see if it lives up to the hype. I have a feeling we are going to see all the cable/telco’s start implementing monthly bandwidth allotments with products like this coming out.
I’d appreciate an invite to beta-test Joost!
Any beta invites left?
I would like an invite as well. Thanks
you can add me to the list of beggars… Thanks in advance!
hi there,
if someone has a spare invite, pls. forward them to me .
anjan.dev AT nospam gmail.com
thank you,
BR,
~A
I will stoop to begging for this. Please. pramitnairi at nospam gmail.com
Web 2.0 names and domains have gotten pretty cartoonish lately, but I gotta admit, Joost has some appeal. I wonder how much “user generated content” will factor into their plan, versus commercial content? I certainly wouldn’t mind finding out about the former…
I too would appreciate an invite to beta-test Joost!
Hi
I would like an invite please…
Invite please, in case those other comments were from the same guy or something
I take it it’s too late to blag a Beta invite, so I will only speculate that the name implies that this is going to be to internet TV what Barry Bonds is to baseball (alledgedly).
On the other hand, if it’s buggy, it begs the question and answer, “Does it work?” “Only joost.”
Very cool. Are those screenshots taken from actually using the app live? Or are they just stock images from Joost?
Im sure you have no invites left, but it would have been cool to try this out.
Those people over there are pretty Joosterous to give you so many invites (could be too many Joost puns for the day). I will pass though, I had my beta years ago! I am interested in hearing what people think of it though and am happy there will be more people to talk to in the channel chats!
If you have more invites, I would appreciate one.
Thanks,
Enric
I am just using Joost for the 1-st time, using a slow DSL line. But it feels like television already. The quality and resolution are impressing. The images never stand still like the sometimes do when I use the TVUPlayer to see US television from abroad.
The only point is: It is as boring as the television I know. None of the channels does interest me. It is only about celebrities or funsports. Damned! I was so bored by MTV already. Now Joost is copying them.
Hopefully they will be presenting more content soon. I would love to see news programs from other countries and of course movies.
There will be no more beta invitation left, I assume.
But anyway…I’m really interested in reading more experiences of beta-Joosters…
At least the screenshots look promising. If one day not too far from now I’m able to receive this quality on my screen (with no stops or buffering breaks) – the Joost-guys will have marked one big step into the future of IPTV.
Very exciting. Please spare a Token please ;(
wae312@gmail.com
Anyone got a spare invite? I’ll kudos you :) tarspam at gmail
Actually doing a broadband network that could possibly benefit from Joost. So any extra invites would be appreciated.
Anymore invites left?
Hey guys — we don’t have any more invites to spare at the moment, but I’ve heard talk of an upcoming giveaway on GigaOM that could possibly feature Joost tokens as one of the prizes, so stay tuned.
Any chance one of the lucky first posters could share the love and chuck me an invite?
