Would you like some vox with that?
Six Apart has been pushing the envelope for developing new (and better) blogging services and platforms. Their newest creation is entitled “Vox.” The product is aimed toward potential bloggers who want to blog, but don’t want to get bogged down by the technology behind the magic. Keeping the curtain pulled on the wizard as it were.
“Vox, which is free, lets users import audio, video, photos and other content from services like the photo sharing sites Flickr and Photobucket, and the video sharing site YouTube. Vox also provides integration with mobile devices that run on the Palm OS, Symbian OS and Windows Mobile platforms. The service also lets publishers deliver their blogs’ content via syndicated feeds.”

In a way, Six Apart’s new service will be competing with its current easy to use offerings such as TypePad and LiveJournal — not to mention other established services such as Blogger, Window’s Live Spaces, and My Space.
In my opinion, Vox looks beautiful — with a charming interface and website — and is a return to the idea of blogging as something super simple, not just “relatively” simple. Should the dictionary make room for a new entry in 2007? “Vox: blogging made simple.”
