- pennyfan87, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3"the secret's out"
  
  I think you mean it's 'Joost out'
- hobgobbler, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2
  I think I'll keep calling it the Venice Project. Too bad it only runs on Longhorn.
- Blabster, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3It run on XP too...
- 4NDr01D, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3wow what a non-story
- badave, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The venice project actually kinda sucks. None of the channels are live and pretty much what you can watch isn't very interesting. Hopefully it'll get better.
- tobias1482, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Why is this a deal? Just wondering, since there isn't much context.
  Best I can gather is it's some 2Tube with European content?
opensourcemaven, on 10/12/2007, -5/+6bury. arrington is teh suck.
- xarc13, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2egRead. alltho ure grahamerr iz rongg(.)
- meatmcguffin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7'teh suck' is grammatically accurate on teh intarwebs
CapeKid, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17Why are code-names always cooler than launch names?
- hambend, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5'Cause you're a geek, and names with "project" in them sound technical and cool. "Joost" is probably aimed at a... broader... audience.
- CapeKid, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Compromise then... Project Joost
- XStatic, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Nintendo Revolution was much better than Nintendo Wii.
SuperNick, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Joost? lol
tim507, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I liked the name "The Venice Project" better...just sayin...
tony134340, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8Joost in time.
- m3mn0n, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6dude, did you have to joost all over the backseat? c'mon!
- pennyfan87, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Joost stop it already!
- rysolag, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2it's joost as in juiced.
- golgotha, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2ya, we know how to pronounce it.. those guys are just Canadian...
camkerr, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1if anyone has an invite they'd like to share, my email is camkerr {at} gmail thanks
- kanavulator, on 10/12/2007, -0/+22What a dumb mistake, I just signed you up for every twink porn mailing list there is.
KernelSandirs, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I just downloaded the latest version of Joost 0.7.3.1 I think this project is really cool but there is almost no content worth watching yet.
They have not given me any invitations yet. :-(
- AlanKc, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2"Get Jizzified with Jizzy Tv.."
  
  Yeah, the content right now sucks. But I have a lot of hope for the "Joost", I love the concept.
- 4NDr01D, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1does it work on my mobile ?
  
  no, who cares
dillona, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1They are accepting beta applications.
willsmatt, on 10/12/2007, -4/+0was wondering if I anyone got any invites to pass me one. my email is "xxwillardxx" at gmail
xarc13, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0Joost sounds Dutch and diry.
HomelessBrian, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2if anyone could possibly share an invite that would be amazing! junglepunkdb [at] gmail is my email
SuperNick, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3So what makes Joost better than Democracy TV or Zudeo?
TheGentleman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3"Joost" is a Dutch name (m), also used to describe the devil in a specific proverb. *gasp*
cybercrak, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I'm sorry, but the name Joost is weak. The application is cool. But Joost? rrrrright.
wolfzero, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Damn! It Joost crashed in the middle of my Alcatraz documentary.
danakin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2http://www.joost.com/ is now fully accessible, and you can sign up for the beta.
dragongrrl, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1i received an email from them telling me that they were planning to open the beta test more widely since the name change. so sign up.

they chose me as a tester so they may choose you, too! so quit begging and sign up. :)

ps -- yeah, i liked "TVP" better, too. it was a cool acronym.
xamox, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I got an invite, I posted a quick review about it with some large screenshots.

bekul, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0"Joost" is an old, but not uncommon mens' first name in northern Germany - I almost would have called my son so. Luckily, I didn't. But what about all the poor guys who's name is Jo(o)st? Who would like to have a popular "internet" word like "google" or youtube as his/her first name? --- stupid idea ;-)
chemilla, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Could someone send me an invte to Joost?? Thanks
- chemilla, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0ups .... my mail is (chema_che@yahoo.es)
