Another cool New York 2.0 guy pitches his product at the preliminary rooftop party of Web 2.0 Expo New York. But hey, this friendly chap actually has a great story. He turned a XBMC open source revolution into a commercially interesting product that will shape the future of online social media centers. Boxee integrates local and Internet content with social networking and overlays it with a good-looking remote-friendly interface. You can either watch a ripped DVD, content from CNN.com or BBC, or videos from popular video sites like YouTube, Blip.tv, and Revision3. All by flipping through the screens with a remote or arrows. This is the stuff major TV companies will copy. Tivo? You ain’t seen nothing yet! [...] [...] “Hi, I’m Avner from Boxee“.
