Scoble doesn’t like Joost

So Mr. Scoble didn’t like Joost:

I installed it. It took over my entire screen. I couldn’t figure out how to get out. Or get back to Google Reader and Outlook and my other apps.

Well, I’m lying. I know how to get back to other apps. Alt-Tab.

Or Ctrl-Alt-Delete, which pulls up task manager and I can kill that process.

I did that and promptly deleted it.

What a rude app. I don’t care how cool it is. You don’t take over my desktop if you want me to use you.

Well, fair enough. I guess if he ever gets a Mac, he’ll delete FrontRow and the DVD player. Hint: different is not always worse.

Meanwhile, it’s possible to read the Scobleizer’s feed in Joost, as evidenced by Eric Rice here.

And I still have a bunch of Joost invites left. Just promise to blog about it (even negatively as Scoble does) and I’ll send you one.

    His post just seemed a little ridiculous — using it for one second. How does he know he wouldn’t like it, after trying it? It made me question his opinions, if they are formed so quickly.

    Joost, right now, is the best bet we’ve got for “cable bypass” TV — if it’s full-screen, so what? The quality is pretty damn good.

    It’d be great to have the opportunity to blog about Joost

    The best we’ve got in the UK at the moment is “Sky Anytime” - and that’s nothing to write home about.

    Please send me an invite if you can.

    Thanks!

    May I hope you still have an invite left? I love Full Screen and can’t wait to dash Scoble on this ;-)

    May i have one of those invites. This rant by scoble has given Joost some extra free publicity which in this case is good for them. Thanks.

  9. 9 JMaultasch

    I’d love an invite - I work in advertising and I’m dieing to get a look at Joost!

    I don’t think what that guy said was ridiculous.

    Actually before enjoying the features of an application I pretend that the choice to expand it to full screen and let it take possess of the whole desktop area is left to me. If this is not gonna happen, all that’s behind can be wiped. Not for prejudice or hate, rather because usability and design are heavily important when talking about desktop applications. Getting the whole lot is arrogance.

    Little things that matter.

    I would really appreciate an invitation to Joost. I plan to spread the word among university students (many who would not otherwise have access to television without a program like this).

    Many thanks!

    Aloha,
