Testing of the new blogger platform Six Apart Vox has begun
Six Apart started testing the blogger platform of the new generation Vox , which was previously announced as Comet. This development has absorbed all the best from MovableType and LiveJournal and is a mixture of blogs and social networks.
For the first time, the Vox presentation was held in the fall of 2005 at the DEMO conference. Then it was no more than a concept, but already on June 1, 2006, Six Apart opened the Vox website , where you can try out a new development in action. Interestingly, the redirection to this site is also carried out from the domain notcomet.com . A kind of joke, which should emphasize the fact of renaming the platform.
The new blogger Vox platform is in no way inferior to such versatile services as MSN Spaces, Yahoo 360 or Blogger, and even surpasses competitors in some ways. The development of a new blogger system is related to the urgent changes in the design of blogs. One of the main trends is the personalization of blogs, that is, the ability for each reader to customize and filter the tape to your taste. The Vox platform will allow you to design such blogs capable of transformation. Another trend that was taken into account when developing Vox is the organic combination of heterogeneous multimedia content, video, photo, audio and text in a blog. The developers promise that Vox will combine the best features of other products of the company - TypePad, LiveJournal and Movable Type.

The main features of Vox.
* Aggregation community. The ability to create personal blogs with special shared sections that can be shared with other users in a convenient way. Social networking features: neighborhood education with other users.
* Multithreading. A single interface for publishing various multimedia content: photos, videos, and other blogs.
* Privacy. You can set access rules for individual sections of the blog.
Even a beginner can easily create a blog in the Vox system. Most of the functions are accessible through intuitive interface elements: see screenshots . The developers have tried to combine simplicity and functionality in one product. For example, to invite a user to your community, just hold the cursor over his photo - and immediately a whole list of available options will appear.
At first, the number of Vox beta testers will be limited to a few thousand people, but will gradually increase. Even after the end of beta testing, the use of Vox will be free. The company plans to make a profit through advertising.
