Chances are if you watch building43, you aren’t just plopping on the sofa and watching countless hours of mind-numbing TV by yourself. Modern entertainment allows us to share videos on YouTube, hunt for great tunes on Pandora, and catch the latest episode of “Lost” on Hulu.
Fortunately for us, there’s Boxee. Boxee is a centralized control panel for the media you consume online. Users can easily switch between GeekBrief.TV, the latest episode of Jon Stewart, and the Flickr pics they took on their latest Europe trip. It delivers a similar experience you’d get with something like DirectTV but includes ALL of the mediums used for modern entertainment. The best part? Boxee isn’t just a console–it’s a social network. Follow and be followed by your friends to find the coolest content available on the world wide web.
Unlike NBC or other networks, Boxee is open and available to broadcast any type of content. To get your network on Boxee, use their SDK to integrate on your own. It’s open and very simple.
Andrew Kippen (@academik) of Boxee explains how the company came to be, its capabilities, and what’s next in the future of entertainment. For more info, check out their CrunchBase profile.
