The Boxee Revolution
We love us some internets. We love us some big big screen HDTV. How come they feel so disconnected from each other. I know in the near future they will be in a serious relationship but right now their status is lets just say… complicated.
If you like searching for content on the web but are tired of your small screened laptop to watch it check out the new open source platform media player http://www.boxee.tv/ super cool app that brings all your media to a remote controlled service online, as the creators say “you don’t have to mess with a webpage to watch tv anymore”. This thing is hot. Hot Hot. Yes you can watch all your own media and any DRM free media content on the web, you can listen to last.fm and watch a flickr flow with the tunes playing etc. you can also have live updates from your friend’s list of what they are watching or content they recommend. And being all open source more is being written for it right now.
This is a primo disruptive technology. You think your cable provider likes this? Well funny enough Boxee is so fresh that even the new cool kid on the block of disruptive flow -aka Hulu – is uneasy. Boxee is preparing a pitch to content providers on why allowing users to have their content on Boxee is good for them, and in the spirit of their open source roots they have made a wiki for users to help them prepare said pitch. Awesome. http://boxee.pbwiki.com/
Happy non appointment viewing.
