Six Apart, the creator of the popular blog software applications TypePad, MovableType, and Live Journal, has released a public preview of a new software package called Vox. Vox is a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) blogging application with Web 2.0 style. It makes it quite easy for users to have customized blogs. The concept behind it is to allow those who aren’t necessarily technically savvy to be able to blog like those who are.
The way I see Vox is more of a social networking platform than your typical journal style blogs. A lot of the time blogs have interactivity such as comments, but it doesn’t have the interaction like a social network does.
By grouping people with similar interests or blog content, it allows the site to build communities within its user base. This allows better lines of communication between users. This is just another example of how the Web 2.0 phenomenon makes Internet technology easier for people.
