I have been testing this cool IPTV program called Joost by Skype Founder, Janus Friss. I had been beta testing Joost since last 4-5 months. I was priviledged to be one of the early beta testers to Joost. Joost was only by invitation and it's still by invitation but Joost is now offering about 999 invites to each Joost registered member.
You must be wondering what this got to do with VOIP and VOIP Guide in general. Well IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) will be the future of communication and there is a high possibility that products such as Skype etc will be bundled with IPTV. Recently Raketu, another VOIP company has launched "Launchpad" a IPTV bundle with their standard VOIP softphone. This was just a start to this growing industry.
Let look at What is Joost and how is it different from other IPTV products. Joost was earlier named as "Venice Project" and is a brainchild of Skype Founder, Janus Friis. Joost is a P2p video streaming application which streams media over the internet and its hungry for your bandwidth. If you are watching 1 hr video, it can take GB's of downloads off your monthly package so its not suitable for those who are on a tight ISP package. I am using Starhub Broadband and its unlimited 12 MBps package, so it's all good for me.
Lets look at What Joost look like:
In my personal opinion and last 4 months extensive testing, Joost is not still good to go. Those guys need to fix up ocassional bugs and speed is a great issue in some of the latest versions especially 0.9.2. The biggest issue is even with a broadband connections, joost hangs during the movie or a video, It's not very impressive. The older version was great and i never saw such hicups.
Hopefully they will improve the background buffering in the newer version. So are you impressed by those screenshots? Want Joost on your desktop? Here is the opportunity for you to get a Free Joost invite fromVOIP Guide.
Instead of giving away free Invites, I thought it's a good idea to hold a competition or a contest. It's very simple and yes, there are multiple winner, In fact everyone who completes the task will get a free invite.
So what you need to do to get a invite?
1) Do you have a blog or a website? Then give a link to VOIP Guide or write a post about us on your blog.
2) Design a Logo with a header for VOIP Guide.
3) Write a review about any VOIP Provider you are using. Reviews can be positive or negative.
Only people finishing any of the above task will get a free invite. Once you finished the task, drop a comment with your link or send me an email on ut(dot)godmode(at)gmail.com with the information. You will get invite within 1-2 calender days. 99% of the time it will same day unless i am pre-occupied with work.
