The trades have been talking about Boxxxy for months now and what some companies are doing to position themselves. A real threat to most would be technology further phasing out some of the online players who can't get into these applications.
Yet on the boards.... *crickets*

No disrespect to the Boxxxe/Boxxxy devs but I'm not really big on their implementation. Essentially it's a generic media streamer and the problem is it doesn't even appear when you download Boxee .. instead you have to jump through hoops to get it setup.
Not only that it's generic and plain looking... It would be better to develop and independent solution for each site that wanted to implement it and then have each site do their own design for the app... each would be a separate app so it would appear under the "Apps" section of Boxee by itself... Like the Suicide Girls App...
Actually... I tried to pitch an alternate version to Shap and sent him about 5 emails over a year ago now. I had an in with a guy that had some VERY slick framework for a stand alone app that I could have been completely branded; creating a full immersive experience for delivering all video and pics... Not only that it worked with a variety of different techs.. in fact my TV handles it natively (samsung)... Everything is still served from the same content servers so the up front cost is minimal and the pay off... well. How about offering an app directly on your site that installs on Mac or Windows which gives you a whole different experience while ON your PC not to mention you could enjoy the entire content library from any tv with an xbox, ps3, computer, etc... hooked up to it...
Alas I couldn't get him to write me back and I'm back to focusing on my core project so... oh well! Seriously, what a value add though...
