"It is definitely an intriguing sector...and, having spent substantial time looking for a solution for our own home theater, boxee is the furthest along in both number of connected services and interface simplicity. The competition is non-trivial (in large part dedicated hardware devices ala netflix streaming), but they open approach of additive connectivity without being locked to a specific service makes the boxee solution the most compelling. However, the thing that is most intriguing about the boxee crew is their interaction with their community. Be it forum posting...or frequent tweets...they have truly cultivated a community. I think that, long term, it will be interesting to see how the streaming media sector itself is affected by the bandwidth shaping of service providers. The roku forums are awash right now with people complaining of time based degradation of streaming service. There is no verification that the issue is provider based and not something less sinister...but..." - Tyler Hannan

"Not entirely sure what you mean. Each quote has "platform" included...each quote is germaine, none are (in my opinion) excessively long...care to elaborate? Or do you mean I should endeavour to make statements that are more quote-worthy?" - Tyler Hannan

"Derek, Very valid point...That was, in part, what I was trying to get at with the title. Facebook, et al, approached the platform as a "feature" rather than a core element of the business. As such, there was no balance. It requires a measured and structured (or, perhaps, cadenced) approach to ensuring a balance throughout the network. I like to think of this as aligning the interest of all participants. That's why, at IP Commerce, we spend time not only simplifying the technical complexity but templating business relationships for Software Companies (in particular). This ensures not only immediate value, but ongoing (and, in fact, recurring) value for all participants." - Tyler Hannan
