Managing your music, photographs, movies and Internet videos is a pain
Solution:
Use Boxee to consume all your media in a single, slick application
Computers and the Internet have revolutionized the way we consume media. Take an average laptop and you can watch full-length movies, listen to music, view and share photographs and search for video clips on YouTube.
While this is great, managing all this media can be a real pain. For most people their music lives in one place, their pictures in another and their video clips maybe online on a website.
That's where Boxee comes in by providing an incredibly slick and intuitive way to access all your digital content from within one interface. From playing music and movies on your hard drive to accessing video clips from CNN or You Tube, Boxee lets you seamlessly consume all your favorite media. It even connects directly to Netflix, so if you're a subscriber you can watch full-length movies directly in Boxee.
There's also a pretty major social aspect to Boxee too. You can add and connect with friends (just like in Facebook) and then share recommendations with your friends, as well as letting them see your recently watched movies or recently listened to songs. All very cool.
Boxee is currently in Alpha - which means that while it's available to download there still might be some minor bugs to iron out. I've been using it for over a week and apart from the occasional crash it's been very stable - but after using other desktop media applications in the past I have to say that I think Boxee is potentially onto something very, very good here.
