Joost acknowledges server error, promises fix
It's the age old story, company launches nifty new product, everything works great. Company upgrades said project, it breaks.A few days ago Joost moved from a closed private beta to an almost-public beta by giving every current and new user 999 invitations to give away. Apparently the servers couldn't handle that much traffic and Joost CEO Fredrik de Wahl writes on the Joost blog that the company is working on a fix.
For a company that's signing advertising and content deals left and right in the hopes of being the next big thing on the Internet, this is a rather unfortunate setback. But it's better to have these kind of errors during beta testing than after the product is officially launched.

That is odd. I've been using it without error for a month now.

im a bit late on this and hopefully the noob pestering can stay minimal but, where can i get a quick invite?
TruegodMay 5th 2007 12:42PM
@Robby I'll send you an invite, but I need your email.
Thank god they are addressing the server problems. There have been some channels that won't even play and other times it will just buffers for about 10 minutes... But Joost is defiantly a really interesting service and I look forward to seeing where it goes.
