You're already a fan of eGuiders, but did you know that you can now lay back on your couch and watch eGuiders content on your TV? That's right, your favorite website has created a custom Boxee application that allows you to enjoy the best Internet videos from the comfort of your living room. Boxee is a free open-source software platform that integrates personal media with Internet media along with social networking. Boxee is designed for your TV, but you can still enjoy Boxee right on your computer.

Whether those tastemakers are experts in the space or celebrities, eGuiders does a great job allowing them to share their favorite entertainment with people. They're a great complement to Boxee and we're excited to bring their videos to our user."
