id like an invite

3/21/2007 4:36:18 PM

Just checked the website, they have a new listing of channels that will be available with the next beta
... of note, Comedy Central. I'm guessing that has to do with their whole Viacom deal.

Btw, is it just me, or did they take away the invite system? Can't seem to find it anywhere ... sorry guys.

"This month we've been expanding our beta-testing community by many thousands of viewers. In increasing this number, and along the way doubling the number of concurrent users, we have proven the benefits of P2P by seeing the majority of traffic for popular content being delivered solely within the Joost P2P network. However, it has also shown that mixing P2P and traditional HTTP traffic provides its own unique set of problems. We were aware of the kinds of issues we would encounter and now we are getting the full P2P effect that we designed for we can work on improving the interaction with the other back-end services. This means that some viewers will get errors when trying to view some shows, which is regrettable, but it does have the positive benefit that knowing that now means that we can work on fixing it, which we are doing. So please bear with us as we fine-tune the client to make the most of this new broadcasting platform. The bug reports and statistics we're getting from the beta-test deployment are incredibly useful to us as we optimise the system. And thanks again for helping us improve Joost. "

i'd love to see a case-study on p2p/http performance. anybody seen any good reports online?

Here's another to check out in addition to Joost.

Palo Alto, Calif. – April 5, 2007 — Azureus, a global leader in aggregating and
distributing long-form, high quality video via the Internet’s most popular media peer-to-
peer (P2P) application, today announced that it will premiere the BBC’s hit six-part
series, Sorted, on its next-generation peer-to-peer (P2P) platform dubbed Vuze
(http://www.vuze.com), which launched today. Sorted represents the first in a series of
programs that Azureus and BBC Worldwide will make available in High Definition on the
Vuze platform, as part of a distribution partnership announced December 2006, the first
ever peer-to-peer (P2P) deal for BBC.

4/11/2007 8:05:44 PM

PM me your email and I'll payback the favor I got and send you an invite... I currently have a couple to give out.

4/11/2007 8:06:38 PM

vuze/zudeo is not quite the same - it's just a BitTorrent client. You can't really watch anything streaming in it.

anyways, good news on the Joost front--

"Joost scores first deal with major broadcaster, CBS http://tinyurl.com/2bt28w CBS has been something of a leader in embracing new distribution models for content, turning to embrace webcasting back when few major players were interested. Now CBS is at it again, this time hooking up with Joost, the P2P "Internet TV" platform spearheaded by the Skype guys. CBS is the first national broadcaster to ink a deal with Joost, but it isn't an exclusive deal. CBS will be distributing content on a number of web portals as well, including AOL and MSN. The company also hopes to strike a deal deal with the new News Corp/NBC joint venture. As you would expect, CBS will be licensing shows that have already aired on television. Early titles will include the original CSI, NCIS, and the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric. Rather than try to control each distribution point, CBS is willing to license its content to "secure" partners like Joost in exchange for a favorable cut of the ad revenue. The WSJ cites "people familiar with the matter" who put CBS' asking price at about 90 percent of ad revenues, but it is not yet clear what CBS actually scored. Still, this is the general lay of the land for these deals, and it's quite aggressive. In fact, CBS and others must expect significant revenues from this approach to distribution, because 10 percent doesn't leave much for its partners unless they're splitting a really big pie. Of course, these broadcasters wouldn't be running to the web were they not chasing the advertising revenues that area already headed in that direction. CBS was not party to the creation of News Corp. and NBC's so-called YouTube killer, which CBS executives have painted as perhaps an overzealous move. From watching CBS operate, it's clear that they intend to focus on their core business and license content whenever possible. The Journal claims that there are fears inside CBS that the News Corp./NBC joint venture won't work out. The news is yet another boost for Joost, who had recently worked a deal with Viacom to secure content from smaller networks like MTV, BET, and Comedy Central. That deal will also see full-length movies from Paramount on Joost, too. Joost itself is still in beta, available on both the Mac and the PC. In our testing, the application has performed well, and the selection of content seems to be getting better each day. The video quality is a bit of a downer, however, as it is something less than standard TV quality. However, you can't complain about the cost, as there is none: Joost is advertising-supported. "

oh and 0.9.2 came out yesterday
