The Venice Project is Now Joost!

Joost Logo

Today was a big day at work as the code-name we operated under for a year now, The Venice Project, was put to rest for the official brand name that we will be using from now on: Joost! This does not mean that we're quite ready to let the cat entirely out of the bag about our "TV meets the Web" venture: we are still in a closed, invite-only beta program for a while. However, to celebrate on this auspicious day, I will send an invite to the first few people who drop a comment here with their first name, last name and email address. Also, now that we have reached a more public level, I will try to post about some of the cool things that we are doing with SVG and other sweet XML technologies in the client application, which is the part of the application I work on.

Sorry, no more invites for the moment.

Congratulations!
If Joost succeeds, it'll be a big step into our interactive digital world of tomorrow. But there will be many steps to walk. No doubt, that the Joosters are able to walk. Deep convergence is the name of the game...

btw...did I forget to promise, that I'll cheer & praise you and the people with TVP all over my net appearances - in case you'll throw that BetaThing into my direction...?

Congrats and good luck to Joost. I've heard about the Venice Project, and would like to give feedback on how it works in a remote country. So if you still have an invite to spare... mark(a)thibros.com

I've been playing with it a bit, i think it will become big. The first few new invites i get will go to my friends that have the dutch first name "Joost" (in 'english'~"Yoast").

Hi, congratulations on your launch. I wish you all the best and an uptake as fast as Skype was. I have been a Skype fan for years and would love an invite to your new Joost service.
Good luck,
Fraser Cairns

Hi. Jeshua Stevens here in Sunny yet freezing SanDiego. We're having record breaking weather with lows in the high 20's at the coast! Pretty crazy.

I'm excited to try Joost. I am a creative for a consultancy here and am always chomping at the bit for new inspiring technology to share with friends.

My Email is jeshua@bulldogdrummond.com

I'd be more than happy to provide you with any needed feedback and comments regarding the user experiences and things of that nature. I'm not a programming type but could have some great feedback anyways I hope. Cheers to all for 2007 and congrats to the joost team!!!

I have been very disappointed in efforts I have seen to date with regards to internet TV -- and am psyched that the Skype founders are taking a go at it. It has to be either Joost or Apple that make it work. Would love an invite:
