Joost still in closed beta, but announces unlimited invites
Internet video platform Joost is inching closer to a public launch. Last week the Joost announced partnerships with 32 advertisers. Today the company announced that it is allowing current users to send an unlimited number of Joost invitations to their friends.This is sort of the Gmail version of a public beta. You can't just sign up through the Joost homepage yet, but it shouldn't be too hard to track down an invitation if you want one. Up until now, each user got a limited number of invites to distribute.
You'll need to download the latest version of Joost, which is 0.9.4. As of about noon, unlimited invites still don't seem to be available, but expect an update later today.
So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.

This will be interesting. i was invited to premiere joost when it was released and have since quite enjoyed using it. This is only b/c every new
beta seems to make the old one dysfunctional.I do like it. The best part is that it can run in the background relatively worry-free, and doesn't seem to affect the performance of my machines at all either. I downloaded Joost, and i suggest you do too if you get the chance, it is very much like On
Demand TV and with the content improving, it may well become On Demand TV, time will tell.
