New email message from Joost

Here is the latest email message from Joost:

We hope you're enjoying your Joost experience.

We'd like to share some good news and celebrate the launch of the new Joost beta - Now For Friends. This means you can now invite as many friends as you want to try out Joost.

To access your invites, log onto Joost, go to My Joost and fill in your friends' details in the Invite Friends widget box.

If you're running out of friends, you can make new ones by letting people know you've got invites. To help with this, we've made a few goodies especially for you, which you can find at http://www.joost.com/share/goodies.html.

Last but not least, we invite you to enjoy the variety of new shows we're introducing each week.
This week will bring you a host of over 40 new channels in the US including Adult Swim, five new channels from National Geographic, new channels like Spike TV from Viacom, great comedy from Heavy, and classic series from Hasbro such as The Transformers.
And that's just the beginning.

Each week we'll launch new channels - making sure you can watch what you want, when you want. So stay tuned...

If you've got any questions, feel free to check out our forum http://www.joost.com/forums, and don't forget to send us feedback on what you like and things we could improve.

Enjoy, and see you on Joost!

Joost, still not really live

Enough already, come on guys, get Joost live FOR REAL.

Joost announced this week a soft launch, invite only. It sorta works, sorta doesn't.

I think the team at Joost needs to work overtime and get this service live for real, live to anyone who wants to check it out, live = working well without bugs

Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of the idea behind Joost and I'm hoping for the best, but this forever-Beta thing is getting old and tired.
