Boxee, the media center with a social twist, will be launching its public beta on December 7 — which is great news for those of us who have been using the service since the very early alpha days on our Apple TVs or Macs.

Even before Boxee() enters its official beta, the service will continue to expand its content-partner offerings. In October, Anime portal Crunchyroll joined Boxee, and today another commercial partner joins the mix: an entertainment source called Crackle.
