The trend in the blogosphere: "subzamochnye" records

A new trend in the development of the blogosphere can be posts that are visible only to your friends and relatives. Some sites for blogging are turning in the direction of “subzamochnyh” records, unlike most online services and applications that allow you to write only public posts.

Presented on Thursday, the Vox platform from Six Apart , which has been tested by tens of thousands of users for several months, allows you to publish texts, photos, audio and video only for a certain circle of readers. Vox blogs look almost the same as on other sites, but the settings provide for 5 levels of protection for posts. All elements of posts, including those who can write and read comments, can be opened "not for everyone."

The target audience of the service is people over 25 years old. Six Apart hopes to reach an audience that has “fallen beyond” LiveJournal with the help of Vox. In addition, Vox, calculated in the company, will appeal to professional bloggers who are looking for an equally professional platform for maintaining a private blog. By providing features that are somewhat similar to email or chat via messengers, the service is aimed at business people who, by virtue of their employment, do not have time for a public blog, but want to stay in touch with their friends.

Vox is not the only service that allows private blogs. With Livejournal , MySpace , Facebook , Piczo and iMeem , you can also create closed communities or write only for your friends, but their target audience is young people, teenagers.

Among other advantages of the Six Apart service are hundreds of professionally designed page design templates. The “question of the day” also seems interesting - a special window with a question that the user is asked to answer with a post on his blog. With this feature, the developers say, they are trying to inculcate users in the "habit of writing".

In the posts you can easily insert links to popular sites, for example, Amazon.com , YouTube , Flickr . You can post posts using your mobile phone.

Currently, full Vox functionality is available in the USA, Japan and France. Localization service for many other countries is already under development.
