Free invite to Joost

When I was a kid, the primary form of electronic entertainment was television. We didn't have computers, or even video games. I remember the excitement that was in the air when Pong was introduced - what an amazing invention! You may remember, Pong was the first "video game" that came out (it was introduced in 1972). It looked like this:

Each player controlled a paddle, and the white dot moved back and forth like a ball. All you had to do was keep the ball in play. What amazing technology! It sure seemed like it back then.

Fast forward to 2007...now everyone has a computer, most people have high speed internet access, and video games now have graphics that are virtually lifelike in quality. But things have come full circle - now you can watch TV on your computer! I am not talking about a TV card that you can install. I am talking about Joost.

Joost is a free service that delivers video content right to your computer screen from the internet. Here are some screenshots:

So how do you get Joost? It's free, but you can't just go there and sign up - you need to be invited by someone who is already a user. Lucky for you - that's me! If you want a free invite to Joost, just send me an email at the email address on the right side of the screen. The information I need is your first name, last name, and your email address.

This week's video shows a conflict between a snake and a rabbit. You might be surprised at which one comes out the winner!
