Boxee Has Moxie

I finally got my invite to try out the entertainment center software called Boxee and boy, does it have some moxie! You install Boxee on a Mac or AppleTV and get access to movies, television shows, music, pictures, and content from online sites like YouTube, Hulu, and more.

It sounds pretty basic, and in some ways it is, but Boxee gives users a more powerful interface to content. Boxee is very much like Apple’s Front Row but with way more options. And even in its alpha stage of development, performance of Boxee just screams. Apple’s tiny Remote Control is also compatible with Boxee for easy navigation of its menu system.

I’ll have to try out Boxee’s additional features, but I already like what I see!

Update: Just some points to clarify. You need an Intel-based Mac to run Boxee, and it runs as a regular old app. Boxee doesn’t hog your Mac and make it a dedicated entertainment center. Boxee also has some social networking where you can follow friends and their Boxee activity (what they recently watched, etc.)

If you want a Boxee invite, let me know.
