Joost Blog

Today is a big day for us. Today we've parted ways with our "codename" and will forever more be known by our real name... Joost™!

There was a lot of speculation about why we were called The Venice Project™ in the first place. The truth is admittedly slightly less intriguing than the mystery. The "Venice" of The Venice Project™, is not that of gondolas and canals. It's not Venice Beach, California. It's not even related to the movie. Our "Venice" was simply the name of the hotel conference room where we first decided to start this venture, the initial idea that is now Joost™. At that point we really just needed a name.

Getting to this point has been a huge effort. Our engineers, and the rest of our team have worked day and night - and while exhausted, I think we're all pretty excited about how far we've come from that initial concept... to this branded release. We're still in beta - but we're at a point where we have a great proof of concept - and a platform that we'll continue to build and enhance - with the continued support of our beta testers and our partners.

On a final note - I've got to say - please keep the feedback coming. Beta tester feedback has been hugely valuable (even when it's critical... actually especially when it's critical).

Enjoy the 0.7.3

Cheers,
Fredrik
