Joost signs up 1 million users
Joost co-founder Niklas Zennström says more than a million people have signed up to beta test Joost. The service from the makers of Skype and Kazaa is still invitation only, but a few months ago Joost removed restrictions on how many invitations users could send out.Of course, having 1 million registered users doesn't mean there are that many people using the P2P video application on a daily basis. Shortly after the company launched its unlimited invitation phase, Joost's servers were hammered by increased traffic, a problem that has since been fixed.
But it'll be interesting to see what happens when the service launches publicly. Zennström says that could happen by the end of the year.

What in the world is that screen grab? You watching European porn?

Joost is pretty neat. But I really wish they would work on their video compression. It's pretty bad in scenes where there's a lot of motion, like car chase scenes.

Any chance for an invite? I would like to see what all the fuss is about.
