Beta Beat: Joost 0.8 for Mac

Remember Joost, aka the ~~Vienna~~ ~~Vilnius~~ ~~Vegemite~~ Venice Project? It's the new free streaming TV service from the guys who brought you Skype. And the new Mac beta just went live. Joost for Mac Intel 0.8 is available for all Joost beta testers and it works great. Smooth playback, nearly identical interface to the Windows version. It's still limited to the same very narrow streaming content (National Geographic, some reality shows, music videos, etc), but hopefully this will grow over time. You can apply for the beta over at the Joost site or track down someone with a beta token to share with you. Just FYI, I have not received any tokens.

I like the fact all thats available is the stuff they probably couldn't sell. A cyberjumblesale (c) of telly cast offs and hand me downs.

Or perhaps this is the "still fresh - now reduced" internet equivalent.

Perhaps they have got something a bit more interesting lined up waiting for when they can convince the telly people they might make some money and all their stuff won't just end up on piratebay.

Lets face it the content is hardly standard internet user fare - wheres Naruto, Lost and the pron?

Yeah I applied couple of weeks ago and no invite for me either...
Was this a ploy to get people's email or what?
