Get As Many Joost.com Invitations As You Want…

May 6th, 2007

Joostâ„¢ the best of tv and the internetA few days ago I posted that I now had 999 invitations to sent. Since then that post has received 22 comments and I have personally invited 20 people. Since there seems to be great interest I have decided to just post my own Joost Account details so you can go in there and invite yourself AND your friends if you want.

First, download the application here:

http://joost.com/download/

Then use my account data to log in:

Username: markies
Password: 123456

Then start the application, log in, click on the ‘My Joost’ area on the right and invite yourself and your friends. Don’t forget to log out and use your personal invitation.

Read this help page to really log out!

http://www.joost.com/forums/p/2007/05/how-to-have-multiple-profiles-on-same-computer/

Don’t abuse my trust please but do invite up to 10 friends and then log out. I wonder how long it takes to go through those 979 invites or my account to become suspended.

Do link to this post or Digg it if you use this opportunity…

    Thanks! I downloaded Joost and then was disappointed it was only a Mac-Intel app.

    Oh well, then I’ll have to wait a few years until I need to ditch my 12″ PB G4 :)

  2. Boris Veldhuijzen van Zanten on May 6, 2007 5:02 pm (17:02)

    Yes, I forget to mention that! The Mac version is MacBook Pro only…

  3. filip on May 6, 2007 5:12 pm (17:12)

    Thanx for the invite ,

    I logged in , but it seems Joost changed the software ,
    you need your username to login , not your email,
    your user is markies …
    It than asked to fill in your personal details …
    I hope i fulled them in correctly for you …

    I might have missed your birthday ….
    i put in 2 december 1970

    thanx for the invite anyways …

  4. Boris Veldhuijzen van Zanten on May 6, 2007 5:19 pm (17:19)

    Thanks Filip for the help!

  5. Bram on May 6, 2007 5:28 pm (17:28)

    I wonder how long it takes before someone changes the password and hijacks the account.

  6. Hans on May 6, 2007 5:28 pm (17:28)

    Thanks for the opportunity. I’ve invited myself too :)

  7. Boris Veldhuijzen van Zanten on May 6, 2007 5:31 pm (17:31)

    @Bram: I hope that won’t happen. But if it does I can change it back…

  8. Patrick on May 6, 2007 5:44 pm (17:44)

    Thanks for this opportunity. I invited myself and it worked out. I hope that I did not unintentionally change your birthdate in the profile, since I was always logged back onto your account in the software without being able to change it. By following the directions at the url beneath I was able to get out of your account in the software: http://www.joost.com/forums/p/.....-computer/

    Thanks again,
    Patrick

  9. Boris Veldhuijzen van Zanten on May 6, 2007 5:48 pm (17:48)

    Thanks Patrick, updated the post. And don’t forget to Digg this post!

  10. Diederik on May 6, 2007 6:59 pm (18:59)

    I have to wait aswell
    say cheese and you smile again!

  11. quarksong on May 6, 2007 7:21 pm (19:21)

    Hey, thanks! I also had to enter in a birth date for you, so I put in 1975, congratulations! You have another new birthyear.

    For other users, you’ll need to reset your user account, go to the “run” command under the start menu and type (all on one line):

    “C:\Program Files\Joost\xulrunner\tvprunner.exe” “C:\Program Files\Joost\application.ini” -p

    Delete the default profile and create a new one, then the next time you start joost, you will be prompted to set your username, just a create a new one using the email where you received your boost invite.

    Thank you!

  13. Seraph on May 6, 2007 7:53 pm (19:53)

  14. Travis on May 6, 2007 8:26 pm (20:26)

    I cant seem to get it to work, would someone please send me an invite to tloof07@gmail.com?

    Please, and thank you.

  15. steve on May 6, 2007 8:54 pm (20:54)

    Hello boris

  16. webmasterguy on May 6, 2007 9:51 pm (21:51)

    thanks for the invite :)

  17. Bjorn on May 6, 2007 10:04 pm (22:04)

  19. spybot on May 6, 2007 10:30 pm (22:30)

    Thank you very much Boris!

  20. spybot on May 6, 2007 11:00 pm (23:00)

    One question, though, when I made my own username I couldn’t invite anyone from my own. Do I have to wait to get invites to send out?

  21. Rubin on May 6, 2007 11:13 pm (23:13)

    Thank you sir.

  22. Mike on May 7, 2007 12:30 am (0:30)

    Thanks Boris!

  23. lever on May 7, 2007 3:24 am (3:24)

    someone invite me plz.

    gukeiiti@hotmail.com

  24. Jill on May 7, 2007 5:02 am (5:02)

    I just gave it a shot and I can’t log in.

  25. Boris Veldhuijzen van Zanten on May 7, 2007 6:21 am (6:21)

    @Jill: try again. Should work now…

  26. Jeroen on May 7, 2007 8:39 am (8:39)

    Appreci8 Boris! Was looking for an invite…
    Thanx!

  27. Balaji Dutt on May 7, 2007 8:51 am (8:51)

    Cool - thanks a lot! Now to see what all the fuss is about! :)

  28. Alex on May 7, 2007 8:57 am (8:57)

    On a Mac, just go to ~/Library/Application Support/ and delete the Joost folder to reset the log-in information.

    To convert your email address into a user name, there’s a “Get User” button in the lower left corner of the sign-in window.

    All in all, I don’t like it. Since I am not a person that watches a lot TV, I am looking for cinema-type movies. The content on Joost just isn’t too stunning right now.

  29. Jasper on May 7, 2007 9:11 am (9:11)

    Thanks for the invite!

  30. Jeremy on May 7, 2007 12:42 pm (12:42)

    Thanks for the invite.

  31. Bart Geusebroek on May 7, 2007 9:10 pm (21:10)

    It doesn’t work with the username markies and the password. I think i’ll need an invitation as well. Anyone who can get me one? bartgeusebroek@hotmail.com

  32. Boris Veldhuijzen van Zanten on May 7, 2007 9:25 pm (21:25)

    If the password doesn’t seem to work let me know as soon as possible. I’ll reset it so you can use it again. Just did so it should work again now…

  33. BigJim on May 7, 2007 11:20 pm (23:20)

    Thanks a million, Boris. I’ve been trying to find an invitation for a few weeks not. But I fear that I’m still logged in under your name. I followed the change profile instructions but hit a road block as my invite email didn’t contain a user name or, more importantly, a password to get in. It only had a link to the download site where your instructions sent me in the first place. Any ideas?

  34. Eduardo on May 8, 2007 12:03 am (0:03)

    Thank you very much Boris. It worked perfect

    Eduardo

  35. Boris Veldhuijzen van Zanten on May 9, 2007 7:34 am (7:34)

    Still 800 invitations left! Go ahead and grab them…

  36. Bart Geusebroek on May 9, 2007 11:40 am (11:40)

    Yes it’s working. It’s a good programme, but just a little bit short in channels. That will grow in the next months i think

  37. Fernando Reyes on May 9, 2007 2:36 pm (14:36)

    Hey!

    Thanks for sharing your account… I already invited myself and a couple of fri\ends. It is now workin and it is great!!!

    Thanks again!!!

  38. mark on May 9, 2007 3:39 pm (15:39)

    Right, got a login now too! thanks!

    It took me a while to figure out how to log out and such…

    In your link it says:

    Type
    xulrunner\tvprunner.exe application.ini -p
    Hit enter takes awhile to load.

    Once open uncheck Don’t Ask at Startup.(Make sure to do this part.)

    Now Click Rename Profile and rename it to what you want i.e profile user name.

    Next click Create Profile –> Next
    Under Enter new profile name change it to what you want it to be i.e Children’s Profile.
    (If you what you can change the Hard drive to a 2nd Hard drive if you don’t have room on your 1st hard drive by clicking Choose Folder.)
    Click Finish

    But you can forget all about that… after

    Type
    xulrunner\tvprunner.exe application.ini -p
    Hit enter takes awhile to load.

    or
    cd \xulrunner
    tvprunner.exe ..\application.ini -p

    just remove the default profile and at startup it asks you again to create a new username and such…

    Thx m8

  40. Manuel Ortega on May 9, 2007 6:48 pm (18:48)

    Hi,

    Thanks a lot for this idea!! I get an 500 Internal Server Error whenever I try to login into Joost to download the program. Would any of you be so kind to send me an invitation to manuortega [at] gmail [dot] com ? I know this is not the purpouse of this thread, but I can’t manage to do it by myself.

    Thanks a lot.

  41. eth0 on May 9, 2007 6:59 pm (18:59)

    Hmm, seems I can’t invite my self. The website is spitting out 500 errors all over :(

  42. Patrick on May 9, 2007 7:10 pm (19:10)

    Don’t panic! The Joost.com server is just being upgraded. Everything should be back to normal in a few minutes. Try again then…

  43. Tom Bieth on May 9, 2007 7:42 pm (19:42)

    THNX! :-))

  44. Tom Bieth on May 9, 2007 7:45 pm (19:45)

    Thnx!

  45. Nilesh on May 9, 2007 7:46 pm (19:46)

    I invited myself with your help:) , thank you:)

  46. BigJim on May 9, 2007 9:00 pm (21:00)

    Got the login problem sorted out. Duh. And I’m not even blond!
    Thanks again, Boris. I expect the content will increase considerably as the site matures.

  47. Avi on May 9, 2007 9:07 pm (21:07)

    I’m getting 500 Internal Server Errors when I try logging in. Any chance someone can send me an invite?

  56. Sameer on May 10, 2007 3:29 am (3:29)

    Thank you Boris,
    Not sure whatI am doing wrong, I am able to invite myself, but the invitee email does not have a username/password. i’m still logged into the system as you (since I dont have a username/password)
    wierd, yet thx

    Sameer

  57. BigJim on May 10, 2007 3:35 am (3:35)

    You folks are doing just what I did. And you will kick yourself … just like I did.
    Follow the instructions from Mark (above on this thread) to delete the default profile. Then when you launch Joost you’ll see a button to start your own account (on the lower left side). Click on that, enter you name, password, etc. and off you go! Good luck and don’t kick too hard - lol.

  58. kreine on May 10, 2007 3:46 am (3:46)

    Sorry but I can’t figure out how to log out.
    Neither of these:
    “C:\Program Files\Joost\xulrunner\tvprunner.exe” (info box only)
    “C:\Program Files\Joost\application.ini” (40 lines, none of which seem to have what I need)
    seems to show me the default profile. I think I’m still logged in as you…and I don’t want to be rude.
    Help?
    (I tried uninstalling, but that didn’t work… must be something somewhere)

  59. sac on May 10, 2007 4:24 am (4:24)

    someone changed the password. i cant login

  60. mark on May 10, 2007 7:37 am (7:37)

    @kreine (and others who experience problems logging out):

    open up a commandline (start -> run -> cmd )

    and type:

    cd \Program Files\Joost\xulrunner (enter)
    tvprunner.exe ..\application.ini -p (enter)

    that will get you some kind of dialogbox where you see a profile, default. Just delete this default profile and start Joost again after that and you can start choosing a name and such

    good luck!

  63. Joseph on May 10, 2007 12:55 pm (12:55)

    Hi guys,

    I logged in and invited myself, but the application asked for a user name and birthdate. I entered this:

    First name: Markies
    Last name: Markies
    Birthdate: (Will Ferrel’s) 07 16 1967

    Thanks for letting us use your account!

    Out of curiocity , how much invites do you have left ?

    Filip

  96. Boris Veldhuijzen van Zanten on May 14, 2007 8:44 am (8:44)

    Hi Filip: my guess is I sent something like 800 invitations now. Joost won’t let me see and I wonder if they actually count. It says I now have ‘NaN’ invitations left.

    Anyway, if I run out I still have a few extra account which I can enable so in theory I have unlimited invitations.

  97. Peter on May 14, 2007 1:37 pm (13:37)

    Hoi Boris ,

    For testing the bandwidth needed for Joost tv we gave it a try today.
    The amount of upload might not be the problem, it just peaked at 30 kbyte.
    Nevertheless , the download rate at 200 kbyte is substantial for a wireless community network. I hope this is not going to be a success, it might be the end of our network.
    See you later.

    Restoring the password now. Should be back in 5 minutes. One more time: don’t reuqest a Joost invitation here! Use the username + password provided here:

    User: markies
    Pass: dazv5mc

    If the password isn’t working simply leave a comment saying so and I will fix it. Usually within 5 tot 10 minutes.

    If you need a Joost invitation just read this post and get it yourself, it is easy! No need to file a request for an invitation!

    I am now closing this post.
