Boxee is platformonafhankelijke mediacentersoftware met een sociaal tintje. Het programma kan natuurlijk audio- en videobestanden afspelen, maar voegt daar ook sociale interactie met andere Boxee-gebruikers aan toe. Zo kunnen Boxee-vrienden je activiteiten volgen en kan je bepaalde content aanbevelen. Voor meer informatie verwijzen we jullie door naar deze pagina en daarnaast kan je ook in het [Ervaringen] Boxee - sociaal mediacenter-topic op ons forum terecht.
