It's pretty cool and will serve my purposes for now. I still think that when I get a bit more serious about blogging I 'll look into Wordpress. For now I got the free invite to Vox and I am going to use it to blog about an upcoming relocation move to the southwest for my family and friends. I'd like to see Vox include a blog roll function.</p> I just created my first blog on Vox. It’s pretty cool and will serve my purposes for now.

A mix of customisation, sharing and privacy control that will appeal to a slightly older audience than myspace et al. Of course, that's a small market than the under-25s, but it's a market nonetheless.</p> <p>I don't Six Apart has been neglecting it's other products either - MT will get an update shortly.</p> I think this is very promising.

Everybody else has rolled out comparable services (Um, does MSN Spaces or Yahoo 360 ring a bell??). Let's not pretend this is anything new.</p> Six Apart is about a year behind the other guys.

Is it a separate offering or is it meant to be integrated into existing services? I was under the impression this project was meant to be the next generation of Six Apart's existing services?
