Walt was nice enough to share an invite to Vox with me last week. Today I finally went in a little bit and customized and made a few posts. It’s nice. Vox, if you haven’t heard, is the latest brainchild of Six Apart, who also have Movable Type, TypePad and LiveJournal under their umbrella. Vox isn’t available to everyone yet, it’s still in Preview mode, but later this year it should be.
What struck me was how simple it is to create your blog.. and not just boring text on a page, but a blog with tons of photos, video, and audio. Also cool is how integrated it is with Amazon, Flickr and YouTube. You can pull in content and link to their sites without ever visiting them. Also, changing the design of your site is done lickity split. I can think of several friends and family members who send around a lot of photos and videos who could totally get into this. And did I mention it’s free?
My Vox blog is here. I’ll probably play around a bit for a while, but it won’t become my main site.

Very nice. What are the odds that you have invites that you’d share with poor curious souls?

Keep with this blog rather than the Vox. Graphically, it’s so clean and clear. The Vox page looks cluttered and not quite as inviting.
