It's a bit more than aggregation, although that is certainly one of the main benefits
I see it as a platform to build on via extensions

Fred, I took the survey. I found the survey kind of bogus. It had an response that was "don't care" for a specific question, yet when you selected that and submitted the survey it came back are required that you selected another response. Don't care wasn't really a valid response.
So there are a lot of responses that just chose some random answer to the question. In my case I didn't know what a specific service was and in the case where I didn't know I wanted to answer don't care but couldn't.

there was a bug in the form... i put in the "don't care" option after i posted the survey. the first user to take it (my wife) said she really needs this option (since she didn't know some of the services)... but i guess changing the form while users were entering data was not a great idea...

If you still have invites for Boxer, Id love to try it out. We've had a Mac mini hooked up to our livingroom LCD for a couple of years now. The offeringsfrom Apple have been a bit limited. We'd love to give Boxee a try.

I found it interesting (and surprising!) that .Mac was popular, but I guess after Flickr, Facebook etc. there aren't *many* other places to go.
Once the BBC release an API for their iPlayer and start allowing 3rd party apps, integration of their services will be key in breaking the UK market, a for many people at the moment, online television IS the iPlayer.
Would love an invite if you can please Fred - sounds like a great service, looking forward to trying it out. Many thanks :-)

I doubt it. BBC actively blocks users from other countries from content on their website and iPlayer. And i doubt the international version (whenever its released) will allow quick access to new shows.
(downloads BBC shows from usenet about a half hour after they air in the UK)
Fred, If invites are still available I'd love to grab one. Dropping Comcast would be feel SO good. :)
tim

May I offer a suggestion? Have them update the website to actually reflect what boxee does. I watched the video (which doesn't appear correctly using firefox on a mac btw) and I still don't understand where they are going with it nor why I should abandon the other dozen media distribution services I already have in my home.
In other words - what Value does it bring?

Its an open (meaning you can build extensions on top of it) platform for aggregating both file based and streaming media for the family room/living room. It currently supports video, audio, and images.
I read you blog every day - if there are any invites left, I would love one!

As a burgeoning web tv, podcast, blog site - which we will deploy in the next month or so - I'd like to see services like Boxee be able to take our content -say from a player like Vimeo, Youtube HD, or our podcasts, find it, and make it available to a wider audience. We'd like to automate that process, a "reverse tube mogul" as it were. To that point is there a white paper or information on how to make our site Boxee friendly?
