Will Boxee's Social Stance Make it Stick?

Boxee, the media center solution that aggregates your content as well as content from across various web and other media services, has raised $4 million in its first round of financing, led by Spark Capital and Union Square Ventures. While the concept of Boxee isn’t entirely new, the fresh stance of near-total media aggregation coupled with multiple social networking interfaces makes Boxee an enticing new product in this growing marketplace.

While other services like TiVo are beginning to incorporate other features from third parties such as Rhapsody, Boxee is starting out with a host of third-party integrated apps, taking the best of breed services and features for a more inclusive experience.
