Jooce portable desktop rocks

Jooce is an online desktop where you can store files, watch videos, listen to music, chat with friends on various IM clients, etc.  It’s aimed at people that don’t have laptops of their own and spend most of their online lives at cybercafes.   The idea is, that you can go to any computer and log into your Jooce account and have access to all of the files, media, and chat services that would normally be stored on your computer.  You’re given two Jooce desktops when you sign up – one is private and one is a public space that you can use to share files and media with your friends.  I tried out Jooce all morning and I must say, it’s pretty sweet.  Unfortunately, I don’t have much use for it but I can see them doing really well with the users they’re going after.  They’re in private beta right now but I have 4 invites up for grabs if you leave your name in the comments.  Update:  I’m all out of invites.  I’ll keep you posted if I get more.  Here’s my screencast tour of Jooce:

    its already taking anyone to sign up! Try it out! its still in beta mode, but right now, I’m psyched out because its so clean, unlike other online desktop site I signed up for. Plus, it doesnt seem to be a linux flavor, so the interface is even cooler :) Right now, im just trying to see if documents can open up within the desktop.
