After a week or so of waiting I finally got my invite to the alpha testing of Boxee this morning. If you haven't heard of Boxee, it's a program that pulls in all the media of your computer to one place. It also aggregates all the good streamed content too from Hulu and even Netflix. That's a pretty big deal for us at our house because we don't have a TV so we do all our "TV" watching online. It also has some nice little social networking capabilities such as updating your Twitter account and showing what your friends are watching. That's a lot of great features for an opensource free program.
