Boxee is hands down the best thing I’ve seen in a long time in terms of media and computers. I’ve been waiting for something like it. I thought Popcorn Hour would do the trick, but it really didn’t give me the options, usability and style that I expected. I only had to spend a few hours with Boxee to realize it was the answer for me. I’ll be doing a few posts about Boxee soon as I start to move my home system in that direction.
Grooveshark has completely replaced the need for downloaded music on my computer anymore. It has every song I could think of and it plays it on demand. I can create playlists and I pay the small fee so there is no ads. I also have the Android App for it, so I can listen to all the same songs/playlists on my phone whenever I want. Brilliant. Now I just have to wait for phone companies to catch up and not make data so expensive. Then I won’t even need to download anything ever again, everything will just stream.
Now…Grooveshark needs to be on Boxee. Make it happen beautiful developers. The conversation seems to be happening here so I’m sure it’s only a matter of time. But that would turn my media center into a true full featured center, for music and video.

Hey Nathan. Discovered your blog today and liked your thoughts on how the video watching experience should evolve for consumers.I had a quick question for you – Isn’t Google TV a more collaborative effort with the cable companies instead of trying to replace them?

I think Google TV is a great direction and an important step in the process to moving TV from being a once streamed show to finding things at any time and streaming on demand, and finding what you want when you want it instead of having to rearrange your schedule completely around just to watch your show.
So yup, go Google TV. I don’t think Boxee and Google TV will be competitors as much as I think (and hope) they will work together.
